One of the suspects recently arrested by operatives of Zone 2 Police Command has confessed how he allegedly hacked into several accounts of Zenith Bank and carted away millions of naira. The suspect, Yusuf Ademola, was picked up in his hideout in Ogun while perfecting another act with one Adeshina Olawale Abiodun.
On his arrest, the command spokesperson, SP Hauwa Idris Adamu, said the operatives acted on a petition by United Bank of Africa (UBA) that a syndicate that specializes in internet fraud at various banks in Nigeria had hacked into their accounts.
“Eight detectives from the Zonal Monitoring Unit, Zone 2 Onikan, swung into action with the use of modern technology and tracked down two suspects, Yusuf Ademola and Adeshina Olawale Abiodun, who were arrested at their hideout in Ogun State.”
In his confession, Yusuf claimed that it was his friend based in Kano who taught him his job. “I normally help him open accounts in different banks where the money will be transferred. The last one that we did, he paid me N1.2 million.”
