DICON and D7G Cement Partnership Aims to Enhance Local Manufacturing

I was inside the First Bank Market Branch yesterday when the security men rushed inside the bank and customers who were in the banks in the early hours of the day to carry out transactions. This security man chased us out as the banks tried to secure their premises as well. When I finally made my way out, I saw people running for their dear life...Yet... I used the ATM.

REPORT SAY, Banks in Akure hurriedly shut their doors to customers following a robbery scare in the area. The situation forced banks in the capital city to close down operations for fear of being attacked.

I later gathered on my way to Lagos at the Metro Motor park some customers were seen pleading with gatemen of the banks to allow them to deposit their money.

Report as it that, some suspected bandits had been loitering around some bank locations situated in the area since yesterday, mostly around First Bank in Alagabaka, Akure which they alerted other branches in the city."Since yesterday, we have been seeing some strange faces mostly guys and their dressing is even killing. They were just making phone calls and one of them even bought a recharge card from me,” a recharge-card hawker revealed to SaharaReporters.

Our correspondent reports that security vehicles were stationed on the roads leading to most of the banks while there was a heavy presence of policemen and some military men at the First Bank junction who took strategic hidden positions as they tried to avert
possible attack on the banks.
The robbery scare also led to police and military street patrol for several hours for several hours.
