“The naked man came to the bank’s branch in Sango and entered the building through its small gate,” as he said “people who saw him thought he was a mad man

“It was after he gained entrance into the bank’s premises that he climbed the bank’s mast before the security personnel became aware of his action,” Fadeyi said.

He had already climbed the mast to its peak, before they alerted the police, but before anything could be done, though the police responded immediately, the victim had jumped down to the roof of the bank.

“The District Police Officer (DPO) and Fire Service personnel who arrived the scene of the incident were swift to action to safe the man’s life, but the impact was so much that he crashed through the roof and fell inside the bank.
