Security operatives are currently in search of a young man who impersonated a bank worker to defraud a customer of a large sum of money.
The culprit caught on camera
A social media user has narrated how a colleague was scammed in the banking hall by yet to be identified man:
"Earlier today in the morning, my boss sent the receptionist to one of the banks (United Bank of Africa) at Allen Avenue, Ikeja Lagos, to make a deposit of N50,000.
"The receptionist headed straight to the bank, and while inside the bank a well dressed man who acted as one of the bank officials walked up to him and asked if he wants to make any deposit. The receptionist replied, 'yes', and the man asked him to bring his deposit slip and money so he could make the deposit for him.
"And that was the end of it as the receptionist couldn't realise when this heartless man left the banking hall... It was recorded that the man spent less than 10minutes in the bank.
"Below is the screen shot of the man as captured on the CCTV camera.
"Please if you'v got any contact of this criminal be it in the past or future, kindly contact me via my email (xcozee11@yahoo.com), any UBA branch or report to the nearest police station."
