Banks Shut Down shop in Asaba over robbery scare
COMMERCIAL banks in Asaba, Delta State capital, yesterday, closed look for few hours following strong rumours in the town that armed gangs were threatening to storm the banks, just as courts have already been placed under close security watch following Monday's escape of two condemned robbers from the courtroom.
Although, the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Lucky Uyabeme dismissed the speculation of impending attack on banks, bank officials and customers were still gripped with fear, while plain-clothes armed security personnel were found lurking within and outside the lender premises.
Uyabeme told reporters: “Though police learnt that a number of the banks did not open because of the rumour, we affirm that it was baseless. We are on top of the situation.”

Man Uses Underwear To Hide Identity In Attempted Bank Robbery
Robbing a bank under the influence is dumb. Robbing a bank while under the influence and wearing underwear on your head to conceal your identity, now that’s pure entertainment.
Daniel Anfray decided to do just that last Friday, when he strolled into his local bank carrying a pocket knife and a pair of draws on his head demanding money. The 56 year-old French man, who had a little somethin’ somethin’ to drink beforehand, was quickly recognized by a teller who asked him to put away his knife before police arrived.
Anfray, who was recently released from prison after serving time for a drunk driving charge, was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.2, more than double the limit in most American states. He was sentenced to eight months in prison and two years probation for the failed robbery attempt.

Biggerst Planned Armed Robbery In Nigeria
But for Providence, 6 May, 2013 would have gone down in the history of the country as one of the bloodiest days of crime. The would-be perpetrators of the act are now cooling their feet in police net. How were they apprehended?
Acoordinated attempt to carry out a major robbery operation in Onitsha, Anambra State was recently foiled by officers and men of the Anambra State Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS).
Amos Chieku, Ndubuisi Uche, Chibuike Alakwachi, Ugochukwu Igbokwe and Nonso are five members of the gang currently assisting police authorities to trace the whereabouts of other members still at large.
A couple of weeks ago, one robbery informant reportedly alerted Uche, popularly called ‘I Chop’ of a planned movement of a large amount of money from Onitsha to an undisclosed destination, apparently by a group of businessmen. The amount involved was such that Uche, 31, alone could not handle.
