The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested five persons in connection with a N5.5 million fraud in Skye Bank. It was alleged that the suspects fraudulently transferred the said amount from the account of one of the bank’s customers to accounts operated by some of their alleged accomplices.
One of the suspected fraudsters, Ademola Okunlola, 36, who works at the Ikeja branch of Skye Bank in Lagos, set the stage for the scam when he covertly used his camera phone to capture the photograph and signature specimen of the customer identified as Ajani Kareem Musibau.
He accessed the victim’s bank account and sent the details to another staff of the bank: Bayo Olowoyo, 39, at the Toyin Street, Ikeja branch.
The duo later reportedly sent Musibau’s photograph and signature specimen to a member of their syndicate, who effected the money transfer into two accounts: N4.1 million, which was moved into Biodun Adebanjo’s (aged 56) account with Wema Bank, Shagamu branch, Ogun State and N1,45 million into another account operated by Temitope Pedro (aged 27) with Guaranty Trust Bank, Ikeja branch.
The suspects will soon be arraigned in court by the EFCC when investigation into the matter is concluded.
