A cleaner, Peter Oko, has narrated how he
stole N5.675 million from the New Nyanya
branch of Diamond Bank, where he worked.
The 29 year-old stated that he took the keys
to the vault, stole the money and hid it in a
carton, which he took home after the close of
work.
The money was however recovered by the
police, which said that the suspect had been
charged to court.
Oko told Northern City News Aproko at the
Nasarawa State Criminal Intelligence and
Investigation Department in Lafia that he
carried out the theft alone, saying, “As a
cleaner, I knew where all the keys were kept.”
He added, “I single-handedly carried out the
operation because I have been working as a
cleaner in the bank for the past 10 years and
my eyes had been on one of the keys to the
vault, where the bank used to keep all its
money.
“As a cleaner, my attention was not only on
the keys, but on how I will carry out the
operation successfully without being caught
by either the security or any staff of the
bank.”
The suspect said he stole the money without
the knowledge of the bank workers, adding
that he had access to all the foreign
currencies in the bank as he knew where they
were kept.
“As a cleaner, I knew where all the secret files
were kept and where the bank kept its keys
where you can have access to dollars,
Nigerian currency and all other currencies.”
Oko blamed the economic situation for his
action, stating that he had never been
involved in a criminal act before now.
“The devil of economy recession pushed me
into the crime; I have never committed a
criminal act before, luck ran out on me and I
was caught in the process,” he stated.
The state Commissioner of Police, Abubakar
Bello, said the crime was reported to the
police in October, 2016, by the bank, adding
that the matter was then transferred from
Karu Divisional Police Headquarters to the
SCIID for investigations.

has informed him that Nigerians need to make
up their mind and choose whether it is the
