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.
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.
