be security conscious to avoid becoming victims of armed robbery as the
Christmas and New Year celebrations draw closer.
Ulor said this
while narrating an experience he had at a commercial bank on Tuesday
where a woman was robbed of the sum of N500 thousand fifteen minutes
after collecting the money from the counter.
According to him, the woman was held at gunpoint by men who must have been following her as she exited the bank premises.
He said the victim returned to the bank “in a state of shock” and narrated what had happened to her.
In
the series of tweets with hashtag #DecAlert in which he copied the
Nigeria Police, he urged bank customers to opt for fund transfer instead
of physically withdrawing cash, to guard against being robbed of their
hard-earned money.
