The Lagos State
Police Command has arrested Dare Oladujoye, a driver with Zenith Bank, for
allegedly being in possession of 19 Guaranty Trust Bank ATM cards and the sum
of N652, 000.
It was gathered from
reliable source that the suspect was using the cards to withdraw money from an
ATM at Ogba branch of GTB when a security guard raised the alarm.
The Commissioner of
Police for the state police command, Mr. Umar Manko, said as of the time of his
arrest, the suspect had withdrawn
N652, 000 from the ATM.
Manko said, “On July
26, 2012, around 8:30pm, there was a distress call that there was commotion at
GTB, Ogba branch. On getting there, the suspect was seen with 19 ATM cards.
“He is an employee of
Zenith Bank and we wondered what he was doing with the 19 cards. He was
arrested and as of the time of his arrest, he had cashed N652, 000. The matter
is under investigation.”
The suspect however
denied stealing the ATM cards. He said whenever he lent people money, he would
collect their ATM cards as collateral and return them after payment.
He said, “I usually
loan people money and I’ve been doing it for over a year. Whenever I loan
people money, I will collect their ATM cards and their Personal Identification
Numbers(PIN). When they repay me, I return their cards to them.
