Suspected thief hides inside bank ceiling and allegedly attempts to hack systems after all staff closed for the day’s business
A suspected intruder caused panic at an branch of a commercial bank in Lagos after he snuck into the bank through the toilet and hid inside the ceiling overnight.
According to eyewitnesses, the suspect had entered into the bank during official hours and quietly locked himself in the restroom and crawled into the ceiling and waited until the close of business and all staff had left.
The next day, the staff arrived to find the door mysteriously locked from the inside. After forcing it open, they discovered the man attempting to tamper with bank systems, some of which began flashing “restarting, click ok to accept” when powered on.
In the video, the suspect could be heard pleading for mercy. He stated that he is the only one that came for the operation.
