OFFA BANK ROBBERY: How poor bank services led to pregnant woman, 4 year old son’s killing

It has also been revealed that one of the victims of last Thursday’s Offa robbery was a pregnant businesswoman, identified as Omilola Korede, who had gone to lodge a complaint over a transaction in one of the banks.

She had also reportedly gone to the bank with her 4 year old son because she had no one at home to take care of him in her absence.

When the robbers came, they sprayed this woman and her son with bullets. Three other women who lost their lives to the attack have also been identified as Bunmi Mesan, Iya Muji and another one popularly called Mama the Big Club.

A relative of the deceased pregnant woman who preferred anonymity told a NewTelegraph correspondent:

“She had been complaining about the poor services being received from her bank and chose Thursday to complain formally to the bank. She took her son who was 4-year-old along because because there was nobody at home to look after him.”

Another survivor of the attack, who said he hid somewhere inside one of the banks during the attack, was still in shock when he briefly shared his ordeal with NT reporter. He said:

“My brother, it is not something to recall or witness. I don’t even pray it for my enemies. It was a terrible moment with death looking at us; I still can’t talk much about it”.
