Wednesday, 19 July 2017: An armed mobile policeman fleeing from an
irate mob after shooting a tanker driver disrupted banking operations at the
Sterling Bank branch on Creek Road this morning.
He ran into the premises of
the bank to escape being lynched.
Security operatives attached to the bank disarmed and arrested the
fleeing mobile policeman but did not hand him over to the irate mob.
The mob got upset and attacked the bank with the intention of
unleashing mayhem on staff and customers. The branch’s reception area was
vandalized and set ablaze.
The security operatives attached to the branch prevented the mob
from entering the branch while evacuating staff and customers before the
arrival of police reinforcement. The branch has been temporarily shut down.
We wish to inform all our customers that normal services will
continue at nearby branches and through all our electronic channels.
Sterling Bank is working with security agencies to resolve the
issue.
