Armed Robber Banker Is A Contract Staff – First Bank

First Bank Limited has said that its staff acknowledged by the police to have led the armed robbery operation at its Mpape, Abuja branch is a contract staff recruited for it by a contractor.

While acknowledging the report, the bank nevertheless expressed thanks that none of its staff or customers was hurt during the robbery operation.

The contract staff, Larry Eziho was reported by his fellow bandits to have given insights on how his branch could be successfully robbed in the operation that was, however, aborted by the police.

A statement by Folake Ani-Mumuney, Group Head, Marketing and Corporate Communications on the development read thus:

“We are aware that a customer service executive assigned to us by one of our vendors is helping the police with their investigations into the attempted robbery that happened last week in one of our branches in Abuja. 

“We remain grateful that none of our staff or customers lost their lives during the incident. 

“We will however refrain from commenting further at this time until the relevant  authorities conclude their investigations and we urge all to cooperate fully to enable seamless investigations. 

“As a responsible organisation that has built trust on the pillar of security and safety for over 125 years, continuous improvement involves taking learnings even from unfortunate situations to further strengthen our security protocols.”
