The commissioner of police in Ekiti state, Asuquo Amba has revealed how the CCTV footage from a bank robbery in the state captured a bank staff taking money from the vault a few minutes before the attack.

According to reports, a policeman and a girl were shot dead during thr robbery attack at Oye-Ekiti local government area of the state on Thursday.

The commissioner while speaking on the incident said there appears to be collaboration between the robbers and insiders in the bank.

Amba noted that the armed robbers first attacked the police station in the town, then went to the bank where they carted away over N25 million.

He said, “The IGP has directed that there must be a very thorough investigation and that this mode of operation must be brought to fore,” he said.

“What baffles me is that there was nexus between the robbers and insiders in the banking premises. The Oye Police Division is about one or two poles from here. It was the first point of attack. The bankers confirmed that they heard the shots and it took about 10 minutes before the robbers arrived at the bank from there.

“Within the period, there were some activities that went on inside the bank. It is either there was strict connivance, or that the bank officials took advantage to carry out their own intention which an investigation would prove.

“Between the time the robbers attacked our men and the time the robbery took place, the staff had enough time to escape through the exit door. They were captured by CCTV moving in and out of the vault. The vault was even opened before the robbers came.”

“Despite the opportunity, none of them made efforts to escape, they were stuffing money and there is evidence to prove this,” he said.

“The staff opened the vault by 3.05 p.m. and the robbers blew up the security door at 3.12 p.m., this gave a strong suspicion that there was internal collaboration in this matter.

“The carton was hidden under the table within the banking hall. This should be part of the loots from the strong room.”
