Panic As Madman Calls Himself Boko
Haram Member At Stanbic IBTC Bank In
Lagos

A mental unstable labourer identified as
Francis Mokwe who recently caused
commotion at a banking hall in Lagos was
arraigned before an Igbosere Magistrates
court yesterday.

The 27-year-old alleged mad man is currently facing disorderly conduct for
causing panic at a branch of Stanbic IBTC
Bank in Lagos.

The prosecutor, Cpl. Olanrewaju Balogun,
told the court that Mokwe committed the offence at about 9:00 a.m. at the Agungi-
Lekki branch of the bank.

Balogun said the accused caused panic
and confusion among customers and
bankers in the banking hall by publicly
professing to be a member of Boko Haram insurgents.

According to him, the accused walked into
the banking hall ostensibly for a transaction, but started shouting: "I am a
Boko Haram member".

He alleged that the accused also wrote
'Boko-Haram' on the teller in his hand. "The accused was immediately taken out of the banking hall by security guards, who handed him over to the authorities.
