EFCC press release: EFCC arrests 6 suspects for N5.5m bank fraud

A press statement from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Find it below...
Five persons have been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over allegation of fraudulent transfer of a total of N5, 550,000.00 (Five Million, Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) from an account in Skye Bank.
The suspects, Ademola Okunlola, 36; Tajudeen Oluwanisola, 41; Kolawole Adams, 52; Temitope Pedro, 27; Bayo Olowoyo, 39 and Otunba Biodun Adebanjo, 56, were picked up in different locations in Lagos by operatives of the anti- graft agency for allegedly effecting the fraudulent transfer of N5, 550,000.00 from the account of one Ajani Kareem Musibau domiciled in Skye Bank Plc. Continue...

The fraudulent transfers took place on March 3, 2014. One of the suspected fraudsters, Ademola Okunlola, a staff of Skye Bank, Ikeja Branch, Lagos, set the stage for the scam when he covertly used his camera phone to capture the photograph and signature specimen of Musibau.  He accessed his account and sent the details to another staff of the bank: Bayo Olowoyo at the Toyin Street, Ikeja branch.

The duo reportedly sent Musibau's photograph and signature specimen to a member of their syndicate who effected the money transfer into two accounts: N4.1Million( Four Million, One Hundred Thousand Naira) was moved into Adebajo Biodun Olusola's account with Wema Bank, Shagamu branch, Ogun State while N1,450,000.00( One Million, Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira only) was moved into another account operated by Temitope Pedro with Guaranty Trust Bank, Ikeja branch.

The suspects were arrested following a petition by the bank.
They will be arraigned in court as soon as investigation is concluded.

EFCC is a toothless bulldog. Seriously after the small thieves. Why cant they apprehend, prosecute & display the pictures of billion naira thieves? Not supporting fraud of any type tho. But we are being robbed blind from almost every sector & they are not doing anything tangible. I bow.

Its funny how EFCC can't apprehend politicians that are in possession of billions of fund they stole from the government's reserve. I am not saying what they did was right, but what is #5,550,000 in comparison to what politians steal? *Smh

Yorubas plz stick with alaye, winchi, armed robbery and bus conductor jobs u're good at. Leave fraud for the ibos who have the brains for it. Even with all the movement from bank to bank they still got caught. Cuss me nd waste your time. #GhanachicinNaija

codename Bronco said...

My thoughts exactly. 5 ppl arrested for stealing 5.5m and it's making news. Catching thieves is commendable but they start arresting ppl like Dezieni, Stella and co and they show us pics of them crying like this, only then will I believe in their work
