He confessed he stole in banks but denied that he robbed them at gun points. Instead, he claimed he acted and benefited from the stupidity of bank officials.
“I am not a robber, I go into banks to steal, not to rob. When I get there I pretend that I want to lodge some money. For instance, when I went into FCMB to withdraw money, I went straight to the bulk room after monitoring the environment carefully, I saw some money and I collected it.
“I collected N1.2 million, it was this year that I went there. I didn’t go there with a pistol. I succeeded in stealing from the bank because the bank operatives were careless. I went into the bulk room and picked the money, I am not a robber. There was nobody there, I am telling you exactly what happened”.
It was reported that Ibrahim went to the bank with a Ghana-must-go bag pretending he wanted to deposit money. He allegedly took a gun from the bag and attacked the cashier.

“Sometimes, I simply swap the victim’s bag containing money with similar one containing cut-to-size papers.”
