Bomb Found Inside First Bank as Customers Run for Their Liffe

Tragedy was averted on Tuesday as a
security guard attached to a branch of
First Bank Plc in Osogbo, Osun State
discovered an explosive substance
wrapped in a polythene bag right inside
the banking hall.
Immediately the discovery was made,
bank workers and customers all took to
their heels, with many of them leaving
their hard earned money behind. It was
indeed a dramatic situation as Nigerians
struggle to pass through the bank's
security door, all at the same time.
As soon the information about the
bomb spread, many shop owners in the
area hurriedly closed their shops, to
avoid long story, while some even left
their shops wide open and ran for
safety. No one wants to die!
Officials of Police Anti-Bomb Squad were
immediately deployed in the bank...
They were able to detonate the bomb
successfully and cordoned off Station
Road, where the bank is located.
Osun State government said it
suspected foul play in the episode. A
statement by the government said:
"We are compelled to call on the
security agencies to get to the root of
this strange discovery in Osogbo and
tell the whole world how this device
found its way into a banking hall.
"Usually impregnable fortification of
banks through their various screening
machines which detect metals. To be
specific, we suspect a deliberate foul
play in the antics of those who desire to
create a sense of insecurity in this
state."
The government assured residents of
their safety and urged everyone to go
about their legitimate activities.
