Olawale Aderibigbe, a 33-year-old suspect, yesterday confessed to the police in Lagos that what he needed was just the security code of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card to withdraw all the money in a victim’s account.
The state Commissioner of Police, Zubairu Muazu, told journalists at the command headquarters, Ikeja that the suspect belonged to a syndicate which specialised in robbing people of their ATM cards.
He said: “The suspect confessed during interrogation that he and his partners had stolen money from many peoples’ accounts through ATM cards, which they stole from people at gunpoint. We are working assiduously to track down other members of the gang and brought them to book.”
Aderibigbe told journalists that he could withdraw money, using any ATM card as long as the card had security code.
Recalling how he was arrested, Aderibigbe explained that he was at home on that fateful day, when he received a call from a friend. “My friend called me that he had another ATM card. I was going there when police arrested me,” he added.
The police are making concerted efforts to arrest other fleeing members of the syndicate.
