A yet-to-be-identified man has been caught after he allegedly sneaked into the toilet of First City Monument Bank (FCMB) Owerri branch.
According to the video, the man sneaked into the toilet during work hours and hid in the ceiling overnight to hack into the bank’s computer systems
The video, seen by First News correspondent on Tuesday night, shows the bank security men and police officers dragging the suspect out from the ceiling.
Our correspondent learnt that the unidentified man had entered the bank during the day posing as a regular customer.
The man reportedly locked himself inside the restroom, climbed into the ceiling void, and remained there unnoticed after the bank closed for the day.
An X user, Bishop, believed to be a staff member of the bank, narrated the incident saying, “Yesterday, a customer entered the FCMB branch at Secretariat.
“He went to the toilet, climbed onto the ceiling, and waited until the staff left.
“At night, he descended and attempted to hack the systems before locking himself in.
