Detectives foiled attempt by some armed robbers to blow up and rob one of the old generation banks in Ondo State by digging an underground tunnel into the premises.
The gang, it was gathered, had dug over 15 meters into the bank premises from the
fence which is behind the bank at Alagbaka area where it is located in Akure
metropolice.
The tunnel was able to contain three persons at a time, while the place from where the hoodlums operated, is isolated from other buildings. It was gathered that the tunnel would have been dug into the banking hall if it had not been discovered by the detectives.
Police source said the gang that planned the robbery would have operated at the
weekend when the bank staff would not be at work.
According to the Police chief who conducted newsmen round the scene, items recovered include shovel, diggers and other tools, biscuits, pure water sachets and soft drinks.
“This is a new trend being employed by men of the underworld these days.
Consequently, bank management are advised to be conscious of the happenings in
their environment and also endeavour to always remove any barrier that could serve
as cover for criminals,’’ the police commissioner said.
Similarly, a serial hacker, Daniel Obasi, who specializes in hacking Facebook accounts
of important personalities in the country was also paraded by the state police
command.
