An eyewitness, known as Sunny, explained that the robbers began their spree by targeting the local police station before turning their attention to the banks. It is suspected that stray bullets from the ensuing exchange of gunfire led to Emmanuel’s untimely demise.
The tragedy unfolded against a backdrop of corporate insensitivity as the Deputy Managing Director (DMD) of the bank, Mr. Muyiwa Akinyemi, convened a meeting on the following Saturday morning. This meeting, which aimed to drive staff to increase deposits and account openings, struck a dissonant chord with some disgruntled employees. They questioned the DMD’s decision to proceed with such an event in the aftermath of the tragic robbery, advocating for a more compassionate and respectful response in light of the lives lost.
