(NEWS) UniJos Undergraduates Steal N2B Electronically From Union Bank Akinlabi A
The suspects were also accused of being members of a syndicate that specialised in breaking into the computer data base of financial institutions to carry out dry posting of funds…
The Head, Media and Publicity, EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said the suspects were arrested in Lagos and Jos.
Their arrest comes on the heels of a petition which the commission received from Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, Marina, Lagos, in January 2013, alleging that a criminal attack had been launched on its data base known as 'Flexcube', by yet-to-be-identified criminals who falsified the bank records and accounts and created unjustified huge opening balances in several accounts across the bank's branches. They subsequently transferred funds from those accounts to several accounts in other banks.
The petition, which was signed by one A.F Olufade, Head of Fraud Investigation at the bank, said cash withdrawals and electronic transfers totalling N2.05bn was involved in the scam.
It was learnt that EFCC initial investigation showed that Friday, who was carrying out computer system maintenance services for one of the Union Bank branches in Jos, Plateau State, on a part-time basis, paved the way for the fraudsters to penetrate the bank's database. Uwujaren said, Friday was traced and arrested. His arrest led to the arrest of Azaaior Samuel.
Investigations further revealed that Samuel introduced Friday to Mahmoud, who is the mastermind of the fraud with others now at large.
Mahmoud and other collaborators told Friday that they needed access to the bank's database in order to carry out some postings. They promised to give Friday N.5m if the deal succeeded. Friday agreed. On the day the crime was committed, he told people at the bank that Samuel was his colleague who had accompanied him to work.
It was learnt that after the gang had succeeded in gaining access to the bank's premises, it carried out the postings to six different company accounts domiciled in Union Bank's Marina branch in Lagos.
The accounts are Gona Bureau De Change Limited, Jaxmine Bureau De Change Limited, Dan Kawu Bureau De Change Limited, Godswill Great Communications, ZHG Services Limited and A and B Console Limited. The postings were carried out and the syndicate thereafter went to the bank to withdraw all the funds. Friday was paid as promised and other syndicate members now at large shared the remaining balance.
The EFCC spokesman added that the commission had been able to recover $2,129,900 and another N134,542, from the fraudsters.
Other items recovered are furniture worth N10m from Salihu Liman's one bedroom apartment in Yaba, Lagos; four vehicles, landed properties in Kano and Kaduna and a four-bedroom duplex worth N45m in Lagos. Investigation into the scam continues…

N72m Cocaine Seized At Lagos Airport
The NDLEA Head of Public Affairs, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, said on Monday that the seizure was made at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
He added that a 32-year-old suspect, Francis Bawaba, was arrested in connection with the discovery which was made during the inward screening of passengers on an Etihad flight.
The wraps of cocaine were said to have been prepared for ingestion and hidden inside Bawaba's hand luggage.
NDLEA Lagos Airport Commander, Mr. Hamza Umar, also confirmed the arrest.
He said, "Our investigation has revealed that the suspect took off from Malpensa, Milan. Bawaba picked up the drug while on transit at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
"He has given us very useful information that we are already working on."
Lamenting the hardship his arrest would portend for his pregnant wife and children, Bawaba said, "This is my first time of smuggling drugs. I was lured with an offer of N3.3m.
"I formerly worked in construction sites in Madrid where I was based; that was how I earned a living.
"Since the global economic meltdown, it has been difficult securing a job. I collected the drug while at Abu Dhabi on my way from Milan. It never occurred to me that I could be caught in Nigeria."
Bawaba said he had planned to invest N3.3m which had been promised him as payment, in business.
The father of two added, "I have been unable to eat since my arrest because I don't know how my pregnant wife and kids will cope without my financial support."
The Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Mr. Ahmadu Giade, said the agency would continue to seek the maximum penalty for drug-trafficking offences.
He said, "The essence of punishment is to correct the offender and deter people from indulging in a crime.
"Drug trafficking demands stiffer punishment to serve as a deterrent because of the high profit it generates."
