CCTV footage of the incident shows the robbers pushing the guard to the ground and removing money from cupboards.
“Two staff members were present at the time, and they were held up but escaped uninjured,” the company said.
An undisclosed amount of money was stolen.
A case of armed robbery and theft was opened at the police.
The matter is still under investigation, the company said.
“Unfortunately, security footage of the robbery was leaked to the media, which is regrettable. It most certainly compromised the investigation as well as the safety of workers of Inter Africa BDC (Bureau de Change),” management said.
