There is palpable fear, panic and
pandemonium among customers of First Bank currently due to incessant cases of
fraud perpetrated mostly by staff working with the leading financial
institution headed by Bisi Onasanya.
Recently, the Economic and Financial
Crimes commission (EFCC) arrested four bankers working with the bank for an
alleged Automated Teller Machine (ATM) fraud.
The head media, publicity EFCC,
Wilson Uwujaren in a statement obtained by SHOWBIZPLUSng said that the
suspects- Mansur Danlami, Ejiro Eborikpo, Nina Stephen and Samson Nwodo were
arrested by the operatives of the commission for the conspiracy to steal N5.1 m
from a customer’s account.
Uwujared said, “The suspects are
employees of First Bank Plc. They work at the Zoo road branch of the bank.
Investigation has shown that they
conspired among themselves to issue an ATM card to an imposter in the name of
Samuel Omode, a bonafide customer of the bank in Bayelsa.”
The EFCC spokesman explained that
after the issuance of the ATM card, the imposter allegedly used the card to
steal N5.1m from Omode’s account.
Uwujared stated that the four
bankers were still being held for interrogation in the Kano zonal office of the

He added, “The men will be charged
to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
We tried reaching the bank’s media
department for reaction via an sms, but no response came our way before
publishing.
