Two Skye Bank staff, including four other persons have been
arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over allegation
of fraudulent transfer of a total of N5.5million from an account in Skye Bank. The
suspects are, Ademola Okunlola, Tajudeen
Oluwanisola, Kolawole Adams, Temitope Pedro, Bayo Olowoyo, and Otunba Biodun
Adebanjo, were picked up in different locations in Lagos by operatives of the
anti- graft agency for allegedly effecting the fraudulent transfer of N5,
550,000.00 from the account of one Ajani Kareem Musibau domiciled in Skye Bank
Plc. The fraudulent transfers took place on March 3, 2014.
One of the suspected fraudsters, Ademola Okunlola, a staff
of Skye Bank, Ikeja Branch, Lagos, set the stage for the scam when he covertly
used his camera phone to capture the photograph and signature specimen of
Musibau. He accessed his account and sent the details to another staff of the
bank: Bayo Olowoyo at the Toyin Street, Ikeja branch.
The duo reportedly sent Musibau’s photograph and signature
specimen to a member of their syndicate, who effected the money transfer into
two accounts: N4.1million was moved into Adebajo Biodun Olusola’s account with
Wema Bank, Shagamu branch, Ogun State while N1.4million was moved into another
account operated by Temitope Pedro with Guaranty Trust Bank, Ikeja branch.
The suspects were arrested following a petition by the bank.
They will be arraigned in court as soon as investigation is concluded.
