Hoodlums on Tuesday invaded an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) belonging to an old generation bank at the College of Agricultural Science (CAS) campus of Ebonyi State University Abakaliki, carting away millions of naira.
This comes barely three weeks after robbers invaded the Simeon Oduoye female hostel of the same school and robbed the students of different items.
Sources said the hoodlums beat all the security checks in the school and proceeded to the ATM where they carted away money amounting to over N10 million which the bank officials loaded in the machine for customers.
‘’The robbers came into the campus in the night and went straight into the bank. They later carted away millions of naira which was loaded in the day time by the bank officials.
‘’We learnt that up to N12million was stolen during the incident. I can’t tell the actual amount but all I know is that there was robbery in this bank,’’ one of the sources said.
Another source claimed that the hoodlums first sacked the security officials at the entrance gate before entering the bank.
Police Spokesman, DSP Chris Anyanwu who confirmed the robber said the actual amount stolen by the robbers has not been ascertained.
‘’Yes, there was robbery incident in one of the old generation banks located in CAS campus of Ebonyi State University.
‘’The robbers broke the ATM of the bank and carted away all the money inside it. We are hearing different figures stolen and the bank officials have not given us the figure of the amount carted away by the robbers.
‘’Investigation has already commenced and it is after the investigation that we will be able to tell you a particular amount stolen,’’ Anyanwu said.
