Engineer Arrested For Stealing N5k From His Friend, To Play Bet During A Visit

EFCC, Ilorin Zonal Office, has arrested a forty-one-year-old Civil Engineer, Hammed Folorunsho Lanre, who allegedly withdrew money from his friend’s bank account without his knowledge, through the use of ATM.

Hammed, who resides in Lagos State, went to Ilorin to visit his Friend, Hammed Muritala, collected his pin numbers and transferred the sum of N5, 000 into his wallet in bet9ja account.

Trouble started when the suspect’s Friend wrote a petition to the Commission, alleging that the said sum was fraudulently transferred from his account domiciled in Stanbic IBTC.

The Commission, while investigating the petition, discovered that the said money was transferred into Hammed’s wallet in bet9ja’s account. The EFCC, however, traced the suspect to Lagos where he was arrested.
