And people were busy here in nairaland abusing an imaginary bank manager who the foolish ex soldier claimed was part of their gang.

Biafrans!

Can you imagine? No wonder people are now banking their money at home

They were amateurs, look at their ages besides they weren't robbers. Too much movie.

A customer care officer of a first generation bank, which was attacked by armed robbers last Saturday, Larry Ehizo, has stated that he began planning how to carry out the operation in October 2019.

Ehizo, who recanted his earlier claim that a barman, Ernest Ewim, blackmailed him into carrying out the attempted heist, said he started nursing the idea having monitored the security system and the processes in the bank.

The customer care officer said, “Everything Ewim said is true; he didn’t threaten me. I willingly collected his number and I called him and he said I should give him a few days.

“When I called him, I simply told him how they would go in, where they would see the riot policeman guarding the bank and how to disconnect the CCTV. On Friday night during our meeting, we had issues with getting a driver.”

When asked the motive for the crime, Ehizo simply stated, “I was just greedy; I thought it was something simple that I could just pull off. I had taken time to study everything; I started thinking about it since October.

“Maybe, because I work inside, I felt I could take the money. So, I gradually mapped out where the CCTV is, where the police officer stays, his movement, how people are stationed over the weekend and how the ATM functions over the weekend. I took time to map it out for over a month.”

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command had arrested the sixth member of the gang, Ewim, at his hideout on Wednesday.

Wearing dreadlocks and dressed in a light blue denim jacket and matching blue jeans, the suspect sustained injuries in his legs.

Blood oozed out of his right ear as he spoke to PUNCH Metro in Abuja on Thursday.

The police had earlier gunned down a member of the gang, identified as Patrick, and arrested four others during the failed operation.

The FCT Commissioner of Police, Bala Ciroma, had on Tuesday paraded four gang members including Ehizo, 30, as well as Timothy Joe, 21; Princewill Obinna, 24; and Elijah David, 19.

Ewim, who doubles as a barman and disc jockey at the Ever Ready Hotel, Mpape, explained that he organised the gang that carried out the foiled heist at Ehizo’s request.

Narrating how he became involved in the attempted robbery, the 29-year-old said he met Ehizo at the customer care desk of the bank when he was having issues with his account.

He explained that after addressing his complaints, the bank official took his phone number and called him two days later, promising to give him a job.

Ewim stated, “After two days, I received a call from Ehizo, who identified himself and said he had a job for me. Two days later, he called back and said he would like to see me.

“He said he wanted to attack the bank branches in Mpape and Mararaba. I said I was not a robber. He asked if I could provide boys for him, so I told Obinna, a photographer, about it because I learnt that he was very stubborn and could fight.”

As soon as I saw "a first generation bank" as the name of the bank I stopped reading.
Who do us this thing self?
In this generation of global journalism, we are still churning out this garbage as a system.
If you don't know the name of the bank, then your stories are just fictions.
Punch of all newspapers did this, na wao

maynation:
This is the point where I detest constitution and all the purpose it serves.
See someone confessing and he's still being called suspect fa?

Where and how have you being Liverpool girl

Maxymilliano:
With all these self confessions, when he is finally taken to court, his lawyer will start feeding him with craps like, "plead not guilty, tell the court heard you made all the confessions under duress..."

And given the fact that "blood was oozing from his ears" wont the bolded be a credible claim?

greediness can mess one up. this banker was lucky to 've the type of job, that most nigerian youths 're dreaming to have & may be make a career out of it. but this one just decided to be greedy, unfortunatly in the game of greediness, its either you win ALL or you loose ALL. only nigerian politicians can be so greedy and still win ALL, most of the time.

LUGBE:
Hmmmmm

This really cranked me up

Armed robbery is different from being stubborn and pugnacious you bloody fool!!!

That statement got me laughing hard. I'm still laughing hard here Hahahahaha

tstx:
Sometimes I wonder how person go just dey decide to carry weapons go rob..

Sometimes I wonder how a governor go just dey decide to squander money meant for the development of his state

Sometimes I wonder how a local government Chairman go just dey decide to squander money meant for the development of his municipality

Sometimes I wonder how a contractor go just dey decide to chop money meant for the execution of a project..

Sometimes i wonder..

Keep wondering

tallfish145:
never believed Larry is capable of doing or nursing this evil act. The last time I went to the bank, I jokingly asked him for my Xmas gift, that was on 24th

The name Larry Ehizo is a familiar.

I don't know if he is the same with this guy.

The one I know is also based in Abuja but used to be a pastoral intern back then.

Imagine if he had succeded: he would probably by the latest G-wagon and be shouting " oluwa don bless my hustle" thereby making genuine hustlers look lazy.

That is because many criminals use such appearance however many of IQ is low to think out of the box. Criminals are becoming wise since they know that armed force uses appearance to detect crime

Thinking out of the box will be done at the station after your appearance has earned you an invite. And you know as station matter dey b for NPF.
So let us raise our own IQs to avoid SARS wahala

what if it was under duress and torture!!! think am, how would he have drove the thieves himself into the bank!!!? nobody would be that dumb

The biggest fool in this story is Ewim.
How did he allow himself to be caught knowing fully well that their crime had been exposed and he was facing a national manhunt.
Nigeria is one of the easiest countries to live in without being identified or traced.
These guys are idiots. Sweet Jesus!.

Is that the global practice? I don't blame the prevalent increase in migration to other sane countries

Every challenge has its own unique approach. An approach that's applicable here may not work elsewhere...
Police profile people abroad too, don't be deceived! Especially for financial crime. The way bank transactions are monitored in Europe and the way accounts are flagged is frustrating.
Though NPF has their excesses, they are not the worst in the world.

olokpa don beat craze commot for him head. he do dey talk both the one wey he do and the one wey he no do

It was different story..that one you are taking be about Ekiti bank foiled one with Ogun state police command.. while this one about Abuja Mmapke robbery..

where are d defenders of criminals, they say he was blackmailed,they say because he was not a northerner that is why he was arrested.
all of them in that part of the country are criminals why?

It is the approach am against. The police force shouldn't restrict themselves to one method because criminals are becoming wise very few apply good psyche to deter a criminal.

Men are looking for jobs, genuinely. This one got one and deliberately decided to bleep it up 'cos of greed and gullibility. SMH.

Money heist I knew it, this one was motivated by the professor, now he snaps back to reality.

Shebi Christmas and new don pass.

I will just laugh...
