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.
The suspect was using the cards to withdraw money from an ATM at Ogba branch of GTB on July 26, 2012, around 8: pm. But for a security guard who raised the alarm, he would have been successful with his booty. Click to continue reading…
According to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Umar Manko, the suspect had withdrawn N652, 000 from the ATM by the time he was arrested.
The suspect is claiming that: “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. When they repay me, I return their cards to them.
“However, if they don’t pay me back in cash, I go to withdraw money from their accounts through the ATM.”
When quizzed on where he got the money which he lent people, he said he was into various kinds of businesses.
He also said he had friends in the banking sector who helped him with funds.
He said, “I am a very hard working person. I joined Zenith Bank as a driver over three years ago and in less than a year, I bought a tricycle which I leased to another driver that gives me returns on a regular basis.
“The following year, I bought two tricycles bringing the total number to three. I make N150, 000 monthly from the tricycles and N60,000 from my salary. I also get credit facilities through my connections in the banking sector.
“On the day I was arrested, I went to withdraw money on Thursday night with some of the cards when a security guard raised the alarm. I did not steal those cards. I know the owners of the cards and I have their numbers on my phone.”

Why is the Police commissioner even involved in this petty crime? Why can't the police verify from the owners of the ATM cards if they willingly gave them to him as collateral?

ReplyDeleteReally i think Zenith bank management need to check their staffs, drivers security men and main bankers. On Sunday a chap came to the Zenith branch at CMD road and whispered to the security men on duty, before u say jack, the security men approached us waiting to use the ATM that the guy wants to check the operation of the machines show us ur ID d guy refused. He forced himself to a machine and that was the end of the working of all the ATM machines at the branch, cos i tried mine immediately after that. i took pix with my fone and insisted he produce his IDm he did after another zenith staff at the scene arrested him. Am still waiting for any trouble with my card.
ReplyDeleteEven of the story he is telling is true, i don't think it's a legal way to lend money. Kudos to the ATM security guard.
