To further beat the Close Circuit Camera Television (CCTV), the bank staff, who said he was promised N7 million, reportedly handed the robbery suspects black clothes to tie their faces.

He confessed that he actually met a friend, whose name he mentioned as Ernest in November and that in the course of discussion, the latter complained about the services at his bank which resulted in an argument.

“He said he was going to hurt someone and I told him not to do that and that the highest he can do is maybe rob the bank to make them feel bad.

“I did not know he had that on record and he used that to threaten that after some time that I must take the people that he would bring into the bank," Ehizo, who has been with the bank for two years, said.

He said Ernest threatened his family after then adding that he was afraid to report to the police for fear of being attacked.

“He even followed to the bank but escaped when they caught them (his colleagues). He insisted I take my car to take them inside the place and that was the only thing I was supposed to do and leave the rest for them to do.

“He waited to see when we entered inside and he immediately called me and I did everything out of fear of not dying and not having anyone dying because of me," he said adding that Ernest, a customer of the bank, waited to see them enter the premises.
