In Delta, Man Waiting To Collect ATM Card Dies In Bank

A  man, whose identity is yet to be made public has died while inside a bank in Agbor, Ika south LGA of Delta state.

The bank customer was said to have slumped and died on Thursday.

There were claims earlier on Friday that the man was on a queue to withdraw the new naira notes from the bank.

However,  a statement issued on Friday, Bright Edafe, police spokesperson in Delta, said the man slumped and died while waiting to get an automated teller machine (ATM) card.

“The report [making the rounds] that a man slumped and died while trying to withdraw new currency at a bank in Agbor is not entirely true. He slumped and died while waiting for his new ATM card pls,” Edafe wrote in a tweet.

The development comes amid the scarcity of the new naira notes with Nigerians complaining about their inability to get cash from banks.
