Three bankers, Ejiro Eborikpo, Nina Stephen and Samson Nwodo have been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Kano for conspiracy to steal the sum of N5,100,000 from a customer’s account.

The suspects, all staff of the Zoo Road Branch of First Bank Plc were accused of conspiring to issue an ATM card to an impostor, Mansur Danlami, in the name of Samuel Omede, a bona fide customer of the bank, but based in Bayelsa State.

After the issuance of the ATM card, Danlami used the card to over time, withdraw the sum of N5,100,000 from Samuel Omede’s account.

The suspects are still being interrogated in the Kano Zonal office of the EFCC and will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
