The suspects are detained at the Police Area Commander’s Office, Warri, but the Area Commander had requested that the suspects be transferred to the State Police Command, Asaba for further investigation.
A team of policemen from Enerhen Police Station, Enerhen, were deployed to the bank, along Warri-Sapele Road, Warri, to escort money from the bank to its cash office on Refinery road, Ekpan, Monday.
On getting to the cash office of the bank at Ekpan, it was discovered on checking the boxes that there was no money inside.
There was an instant alarm as neither the policemen nor the cash officers could give logical reason for the scandal.
Some of the posers detectives would have to unravel in the case are: If the policemen in the escort team from Enerhen knew before they left the bank’s office at Effurun that there was no money in the boxes they were escorting to Ekpan cash office of the bank or if they are part of the conspiracy.
