A customer of a United Bank of Africa (UBA) branch in Ughelli, Delta State, was on Friday mugged by gunmen suspected to be armed robbers while he was on its premises to deposit some money.
It was gathered that the gunmen numbering about five in a Toyota Venza, had trailed the unidentified customer to the bank premises on Isoko Road before they shot sporadically which hit the bank’s security guard and two other individuals.
Witnesses said the customer had yet to enter the banking hall when the gunmen struck and eventually made away with three ‘Ghana Must Go’ bags containing money.
The security guard and two others were said to have sustained gunshot injuries from the hoodlums who were reportedly armed with sophisticated ammunition and operated unchallenged before they zoomed off the bank premises.
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Edafe Bright, said, “A customer who was going to the bank to deposit money was double-crossed before he could enter the bank and robbed. It’s not a bank robbery. Nigerians need to avoid sensation. Nobody died, but someone sustained an injury.
“The gunmen invaded the bank in Delta and shot a security guard and others. An investigation has since commenced. Someone was injured and taken to the hospital, but it’s not certain if it was the customer.”
