Armed robbers, at the weekend, attacked Union Bank branch in Ughelli, Delta State.
It was gathered that the robbers blew up the bank’s vault with dynamite and made away with N25million.
Reports said they were dressed in army camouflage. They reportedly used dynamite and welding tools to break into the ATM inside the bank and the bank’s vault, where a bulk of the cash was kept.
Confirming the incident on Sunday, a staff of the bank, who spoke to Vanguard on condition of anonymity, disclosed that the bank’s manager and some senior staff were arrested and taken to Asaba for questioning in connection with the incident.
The staff added: “The security guards were tied up while the operation lasted.
“Though they spared the ATM outside the bank premises, they used dynamite to blow up the ATM inside the bank and drilled their way through into the bank’s vault.”
