The police have discovered a
10-metre underground tunnel which was intended to reach the banking hall of
a
new generation bank(name withheld) at Akure in Ondo State.
Though
no arrests have been made, the tunnel that was dug at Ado-Owo Road behind the
bank was only a few metres short of the banking hall.
Reacting
to the discovery, the police said the plotters’ intent was to break into the
bank through the tunnel and carry out their dastardly act.
Briefing
newsmen the state Police Commissioner, Mike Ogbodu, said police discovered the
tunnel during surveillance, adding that the suspected robbers plotted to rob
the bank through it.
Items
like diggers, cutlasses, hoes and shovels recovered at the scene, were shown to
journalists by the police boss while conducting them round the bank premises.
Ogbodu,
however, assured banks in the state of adequate security of their workers and
customers.
