Banks panic and shut doors over election results in Ogun State

Banks in the Ogun State capital, Abeokuta, hurriedly shut their doors against customers around 3pm on Monday as the announcement of the results of Saturday’s presidential election were being shown on national television.

The closure was attributed to the fears over what the outcome of the election might be.

According to reports, banks in the Oke-Ilewo area of Abeokuta, where most of the financial houses are located saw many angry customers stood outside the gates of all the banks, as the security men did not offer them any explanation for the sudden closure of the banks.
