A Nigerian national identified as Oshiobugie Bryan Okhaimo has been arrested and arraigned in court for robbing a bank in Bridgwater, Canada.
According to a report by Winniepegfreepress, the man from Winnipeg whose nationality was not stated but with a Nigerian name, was said to have gone into the bank on July 15 around 1:15 with his face covered and carrying what looked like an assault-style rifle.
The 24-year-old, according to police authorities, went to the counter, pointed the gun at an employee, and demanded money.
The employee was said to have given Okhaimo the money and in a bid not to suffer any physical harm.
Upon being called to the bank after the robbery, the police were said to have launched a search and were eventually able to find the suspect at a home in the 100 block of Bairdmore Boulevard after which he was taken into custody.
The police were said to have got a search warrant and were able to seize an imitation firearm, a vehicle, and the money he stole from the bank.
Okhaimo was subsequently charged with armed robbery using a firearm, using an imitation firearm during the commission of an indictable offence, pointing a firearm, possessing a weapon, and disguise with intent.
