Nigerian UN Worker Arrested For Robbing Four Banks In New York

A united Nations headquarters employee was arrested on Monday for robbing four banks over a two-month span, The New York Post reports.
All robberies were committed during his lunch breaks at banks within walking distance of the UN headquarters.

Nigerian national Abdullahi Shuaibu, 53, was charged with two counts of robbery and two counts of attempted robbery.
All robberies were committed during his lunch breaks at banks within walking distance of the UN headquarters.
Mr. Shuaibu committed the first robbery on February 27 when he walked into a Santander Bank and demanded that the teller hand him cash, threatening to shoot if the employee did not comply.
In March, he tried but failed to rob a Bank of America. Later that month, he successfully robbed a separate Santander Bank location.
On Monday, Mr. Shuaibu walked into an HSBC bank and passed a note demanding cash to the teller, who did not read the note and asked for identification. He then told the teller he had a gun and gestured to his hand in his jacket pocket.
After returning to work that afternoon, police arrested Mr. Shuaibu. A retired police officer working at the UN recognized the robber from a surveillance photo previously released by the New York Police Department and led the authorities to his arrest.

                              An airline pilot had a close brush with death when he was "sucked halfway out" of the plane after a cockpit windshield blew out. A Sichuan Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing on Monday and it was later reported that the reason for the emergency landing was because the cockpit windshield blew out and almost tossed the pilot out of the plane.
