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.
