According to a report by Punch, two men who claim to be undergraduates of University of Jos, Isaiah Friday and Azzaior Samuel, have been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for allegedly stealing N2.05bn from union bank Two bureau de change operators, Salihu Mahmoud and Dan Ibrahim, were also arrested in connection with the alleged crime.
The Head, Media and Publicity, EFCC,
Wilson Uwujaren, said:
"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.”
PUNCH Metro gathered that 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.
Uwujaren said, “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.
