A bank customer has slumped and died after standing in a queue for long hours at a bank in Agbor, Delta State.
The sad incident occurred on Thursday, 2nd February, in the Ika South Local Government Area, Delta State.
According to the Tribune on Friday, the yet-to-be-identified man died after waiting for hours to collect his Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card at the bank in Ika South Local Government Area, Delta State.
Confirming his death, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bright Edafe, said, “He was not trying to withdraw cash; he came to collect his ATM card.”
Nigerians have expressed the painful experience they endure in commercial banks to withdraw cash following the redesign of N200, N500, and N1000 banknotes by the Central Bank of Nigeria and the attendant scarcity.
Many banks and ATMs have yet to dispense either old or new notes.
