While on surveillance patrol, Adamawa State Police Command personnel nabbed a 32-year-old man at a First Bank Automated Teller Machine (ATM) stand along Bank road in Yola North local government area.
Joseph Nwakibe, the suspect detained on November 8, 2022, is a native of Nnewi South, Anambra State, and a resident of Makurdi, Benue State.
According to a statement signed by Adamawa Police spokesperson SP Sulaiman Nguroje, the suspect was invited to Yola by his companion, currently at large, Obinna Ajima, for cooperative fraudulent operations.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects walk around with several expired ATM cards from various banks and wait for their victims. They usually queue behind customers pretending to withdraw money, then offer to assist anyone they perceive is having difficulty making transactions, taking note of the person’s ATM pin number and cleverly swapping the card with the fake one in their hands.
