Gunmen attack meat seller at ATM stand in Benin, snatch N150,000

Tina Osaretin, a meat seller, was attacked by gunmen in the early hours of Wednesday while operating an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in a bank along Uselu-Lagos road, Benin, Edo State.
Tina said she got to the ATM stand by 6a.m. to withdraw cash for her to get to the abattoir early.
“When I got to the stand, I saw two young boys standing on the left and right side, about the ages of 15 and 16.
“I knew something was wrong when I inserted my card. The boys stood behind me immediately. One said: “cooperate, if not I go shoot you.’’
“They snatched N150,000 from me, but I thank God I was not shot”, she said.
Tina pleaded with the Edo State Government to provide more security personnel, “especially during these ember months”.
She said Nigeria would be a better place if corruption and stealing could be tackled.
