I hack into bank accounts using software – Suspect

The Niger State Police Command has arrested two suspected
hackers of bank accounts in Minna.

The suspects, whose names were given as Abdulmalik Usman and
Najeeb Saidu, both of IBB Road, Hill Top, Minna, were apprehended
by police operatives attached to some banks.

Northern City News gathered that the suspects had been involved
in the crime for over three years before they were nabbed.

In a confessional statement, the prime suspect, Usman, boasted
to our correspondent of his exploits when he declared that he could
defraud an individual by simply hacking into his bank account with
the aid of software.

Usman said, “This is what I know how to do. I just installed the
software in the system and it works like a magic; I can withdraw
any amount I want.

“The software can be used to withdraw money from any bank in
Nigeria and you will begin to make your cool money without police
hassles. They (police) don’t even understand how it works.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar,
confirmed the arrest, saying the suspects had confessed to the
crime.

Abubakar said police operatives recovered five Automated Teller
Machine cards belonging to different banks, hard drugs and a
Command Secondary School identity card from the suspects.

He added that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as
the police completed their investigation.
