Oyo Police Nab Banker For Allegedly Siphoning N10m From Customer’s Account

A 36-year-old man, Adeyemi Tosin, who is a banker/marketer with
a first-generation bank, has been arrested by Oyo State Police
Command for allegedly siphoning N10 million from the account of
78-year-old Oladele Adida Quadri.

The bank account of the septuagenarian, domiciled at the
Challenge, Ibadan branch of the bank was reportedly drained of cash
between August 12 and 13, according to the command’s Police Public
Relations Officer, DSP Adewale Osifeso, in a statement on
Tuesday.

The PPRO said the police efforts yielded fruits as a result of
an intelligence-led operation ordered by the state Commissioner of
Police, Ngozi Onadeko.

He disclosed that preliminary findings showed that the victim’s
dilemma began on July 12 after his Automated Teller Machine (ATM)
card got trapped at the bank after a failed transaction at the
Challenge, Ibadan branch.
Pa Quadri was said to have approached the suspect for assistance at
the banking hall, which made him seek the account details of the
victim.

Our correspondent learnt that the suspect thereafter opened a
virtual account with another bank where the victim’s money was
lodged, with the intention of gradual withdrawal at a later
period.

“While comprehensive investigations are still in progress to
crackdown on the criminal network and other accomplices, the
Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, CP Ngozi Onadeko, enjoin
the good people of the state to partner with the police by sharing
credible and timely information valuable in curbing criminality and
birthing a peaceful Oyo State,” Osifeso said.
