An unconfirmed source who is a Nigerian Naval Officer that armed robbery has taken a new dimension in Nigeria especially Lagos given the abundant ATMs in Lagos.
He said that armed robbers now visit ATMs on Friday evenings so as to forcefully collect the ATM cards and PIN codes of customers. According to him, they approach you with a smile while you are attempting to make a transaction, display their guns and also point to their colleagues around in case you attempt to play smart by refusing or screaming. They then collect your ATM cards and asks for your PIN codes. They confirm the PIN there to know if it’s fake.
Their intention is to withdraw at least the Bank ATM withdrawal limit of N100,000 daily between that Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They do this criminal acts on Friday evenings when they know Banks have closed for the day and are on weekend break.
