Daily Trust gathered that five armed robbers attacked the bank around 5pm when the bank had closed for the day and many staff had left the premises.
“When they entered the bank they order the bank staff to open one of the ATM machines which he did. They ordered him to open another one but he couldn’t because the key was not with him,” a source said.
