The police in Lagos have arrested a gang of criminals whose specialty was fraudulently withdrawing money from the bank accounts of oblivious customers.
Kola Osho, Oyedepo Adesola and Kola Ademola told the police that their work was made easy by the fact that they usually had insiders in the bank they operated in.
The trio were arrested in the Abule Egba area of the state after the police were informed of their suspicious movements. Ademola said:
Last year, I met one
boy called Samson who stayed in Obalende, and he was the one who
got the cheques and brought them to me. “I don’t know how he got
them, but they were original cheques.
We delivered these to the
banks insiders who worked on them, and brought out the cash. But
because of the present cashless policy, we can only withdraw less
than N100,000 which would not require the confirmation from the
signatories.
The police are currently investigating the charges
against the accused who were also found in possession of a number
of forged documents.
