The Nigeria Police Force revealed that armed robbers who specialize in
robbing users of Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) in commercial banks have
devised a new method of dispossessing unsuspecting victims of their
money. According to the Police,
"On July 30th at about 12:10am, a male bank customer went to withdraw
money from one of the ATMs at the Central Business District, Abuja.
Three young men pretending to have come to withdraw money attacked him.
The victim raised an alarm which attracted nearby police patrol team to
the scene.
The hoodlums took to their heels upon sighting the
advancing police team. One automatic pistol fell from one of the
suspects and was recovered by the Police. Luckily for the victim, the
robbers were not successful in disposing him
of his money.
On July 28, another bank customer was attacked by robbers and disposed
of the money he withdrew from ATM."
