The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 43-year-old man, Azeez Isa for attempting to rob a bank opposite the Maplewood Estate in the Oko Oba area of Lagos State.

Ise, in the early hours of Sunday destroyed some doors with a hammer while trying to make his way into the back.

A source said, “The security guards attached to the bank heard the sound of someone hitting an object early in the morning.

They traced the sound and found a man using a sledgehammer to hit the security door. He kept hitting the door repeatedly without minding that the sound could attract the attention of people around there.”

Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin said, We got the distress call around 4.20 am and our patrol team responded swiftly. The man was arrested while still breaking the door. He is in police custody and is currently being interrogated.”
