A former bank employee named Uchenna Emmanuel, has admitted to “mistakenly” withdrawing money from an ATM five times using a customer’s card.
This was revealed on Friday by the suspect, a cashier, who was being paraded by the Ondo State Police Command in Akure.
According to the ex-banker explained that he used the account to make five separate withdrawals totaling N35,000 for the purchase of a single item.
He said that he was able to commit the fraud so effortlessly because the POS system he used had been hacked and did not require a PIN.
His said “I mistakenly used the customer’s card to buy things from a company. I thought it was my card.
“The manager later found the card with me and I was sacked immediately.
“They asked me how I knew the customer’s PIN, I said I used my PIN. They brought other POS and a policeman also tried his ATM card. The transaction was successful.
“I used the customer’s card five times.”
