A suspected thief has been found hiding in the ceiling inside a branch of FCMB, allegedly attempting to tamper with the bank’s systems

According to multiple reports, the suspect entered the bank during business hours and quietly locked himself in the restroom. He then climbed onto the ceiling and remained hidden until all the staff of the bank had gone home.

By the next morning, bank staff arrived to find a door mysteriously locked from the inside. After forcing it open, they were shocked to discover the intruder who appeared to be meddling with some of the bank’s systems. Screens on some computers reportedly displayed unusual messages like “restarting click ok to accept.”

In a now-viral video, the suspect is seen begging for mercy, claiming he acted alone. Though the bank has yet to issue an official statement, several clips show the man being detained & handled roughly by security officials at the scene.
