Thieves Dig Into Express Union Bambui

 Bambui, Cameroon 12 July 2015 – Wonders shall never end! The routine exercise of digging into houses around the Tubah Municipality has now reached the level of these same men of the underworld digging into micro financial institutions and money transfer agencies. The Express Union Bambui Counter was robbed last evening around 11:00pm (GMT) by twelve armed bandits as Tobby Vision reporter at the scene this morning was told. The gun armed bandits twelve in number came in a vehicle commonly called in Cameroon as ‘cargo’. They assaulted and successfully tied the security guard who was on duty and about four other tenants living in other rooms of the building that hosts the Express Union Bambui. We were told that after these armed men tied the night watch on duty – a security officer from a company in Bamenda called Premier Security Company Limited and four other tenants living in other rooms of the same building it was thanks to a bike rider that they were discovered late that evening.

The bike rider (Okada rider) as we were told normally parks his bike with the security guard when he closes from his activities. So last evening, when he had worked late in the night and returned to park his bike, he noticed the armed robbers who then all escaped.

The forces of law and order were alerted. The Commissioners of Public Security Tubah, Special Branch Police Tubah respectively with gendarmes and policemen arrived at the scene this morning to carry out investigations. They took statements from the security guard on duty and all the other tenants who were also tied and living in the Express Union building. Present also at the scene this morning was the Intervention Unit of Premier Security Bamenda. Worthy to note is that the building also hosts the Deeper Life Bible Church Bambui. We are also told that they were unable to break the safe when they entered.

Today being Sunday and a public holiday, the Manager of Express Union Bambui who was also present at the scene informed all the other staffs. Those in possession of the keys of the doors all brought the keys and the building was opened. The forces of law and order entered with the staff and carried an inventory. The information of what is carried away after these armed bandits broke into the building is being awaited from the investigations of the forces of law and order.
