The Quest Times had reported how a building material merchant popularly known as Igwe, with a shop located along Baleke Street by Isedeh, slumped and died in a new generation bank on Thursday.
Sources revealed that late Igwe went to First Bank, Agbor for some transactions, but unfortunately, after spending hours unattended to due to the crowd, collapsed and was rushed to St. John Catholic Hospital, Agbor where he died.
But the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the State, DSP Bright Edafe, dismissed the account, saying the customer was at the bank to collect his Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card.
“He was not trying to withdraw cash, he came to collect his ATM card,” he said.
The wife of the deceased, in tears, explained to sympathizers who came to console the family at the deceased’s residence at Andy Iyama Street, Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State, that she got a call to come to Catholic Hospital, Agbor.
She explained that when she got there, she discovered that her husband, who left the house that morning hale and hearty, was dead and had already been taken to the mortuary.
Some of the sympathizers, in their speech, maintained that the ugly incident is a result of the unpopular policies of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) that has brought untold hardship to Nigerians.
