Residents scramble to pick money thieves sprayed after robbing a man at a bank [Video]

There was a scramble for stolen money close to a bank on Lagos Island after a robbery incident took place just outside the bank premises.

It was gathered that a man visiting the bank to deposit money was robbed by hoodlums in front of the bank.

To avoid being caught, the thieves sprayed the money into the air to attract a huge crowd and give them chance to slip away.

A video circulating on social media shows the moment residents were scrambling to pick the money and some were fighting others who had picked a huge chunk of the cash.

Taking a closer look at the bank, security personnel could be seen arresting some suspects, though it is unclear if they are responsible for the robbery.
