Senegal will hand over two officials of Access Bank who allegedly emptied safe deposit boxes and fled to Senegal.
The two top officials at the bank’s branch in Barra are mired in an elaborate heist that some people liken to the popular drama movie Money Heist.
Police spokesman Superintendent Lamin Njie confirmed to The Fatu Network the incident had happened and that it was under investigation.
At least 21 million dalasis is said to be involved, and Senegalese media reported on Wednesday the men will be handed over to Gambian authorities at the advice of Senegal’s attorney general.
According to Senego, the two men Sarjo Corr and Momodou Juldeh Jallow were arrested by the Criminal Investigation Division (DIC) in Dakar, relying on Liberation newspaper.
The paper also reported that 80,000 dollars was found on them at the time of their arrest.
