PUNCH Metro discovered that the suspect’s face was visible on the bank’s closed-circuit television camera, but the institution denied that he was a worker.
Nojeem’s supervisor reported the incident to the Aiyetoro Police Station and told our correspondent that the bank and the police were dragging their feet on the investigation.

Emmanuel said, “Since we reported the case to the police, both the bank and the police have not done much to ensure I get my money. I am just a small businessman and that money means a lot to me.

“We later learnt that this kind of a thing has been happening recently in that bank.”

The bank’s branch manager, Sharafadeen Awayeti, confirmed the incident, but claimed Ogundele might have been hypnotised.

He said, “First, the man in question wore native attire and aside from Fridays, we don’t wear native clothes to work.

“Also, this is not the boy’s first time of depositing money for his boss in our bank, so we feel that he may have been hypnotised by the criminal who made away with the money.

“We gave all necessary assistance to the police when they came here to investigate and since investigation is ongoing on the matter, let’s wait for them to conclude their work.”

Dolapo Olayemi, a financial expert, claimed that because such frauds were so prevalent inside banking halls, banks needed to make sure that clients could clearly identify their employees.

SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, spokesman for the state police, promised to react to our reporter regarding the event.

As of the time this report was submitted, he still had not done anything.
