10 men who allegedly hacked into and fraudulently moved out N150 million from the bank accounts of various bank customers in Lagos and Oyo states have been arraigned by the Police Special Fraud Unit on Thursday.
\nJustice Chuka Obiozor of the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court sat on the case as the suspects were arraigned on three count charges.
\nThey include Ismaeel Salami, 49; Akinola Oghuan, 34; Sarumi Abubakar, 32; Salako Idowu Abdulsalam, 30; and Chukwumnonso Ifeanyi, 30.
\nOthers are Okpetu John, 29; James Idagu, 56; Oyelade Shola Isaac, 32; Osuolale Hammid, 40; and Akeem Adesina, 40.
\nThe police, in the charge sheet marked FHC\/L\/248c\/17, said the defendants conspired among themselves to hack into various bank customers\u2019 accounts and moved their funds without being given the authority to do so.
\nThe accused persons, according to the police, blocked the victims\u2019 mobile numbers to ensure they did not receive SMS alerts from their banks notifying them of the illegal transactions.<\/a>
\nThey were said to have committed the crime in March this year.
\nThe police prosecutor, Azubike Sylvester, told Justice Obiozor that the defendants acted contrary to sections 8(a)(B)(c), 7(1)(a)(b)(I)(ii) and 1(1)(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act 2006 and are liable to be punished under Section 7(2)(B) of the same Act.
\nBut when the charges were read to the 10 defendants, they pleaded not guilty.
\nThe judge adjourned till July 28, 2017 to hear their bail applications and ordered that the suspects be remanded in prison<\/p>\n
