“The general public is advised to be vigilant and alert while using the ATM and should use machines that are located in well lit premises with adequate security around .
“Furthermore, the Federal Government advices all banks to ensure that ATM’s are situated in properly lit premises and should ensure that they engage night guards to enhance the safety of their customers.”
