EFCC Arraigns Man Over Identity Fraud by NewBeijing: 7:25am On Dec 09, 2020
The Makurdi Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned one Monday Segun before Justice Mobolaji Olajuwon of the Federal High Court in Benue State, over alleged bank account fraud, obtaining money by false pretence, conspiracy and online scam.

The prosecution counsel, Mary Onoja, told the court that Segun, upon his arrest and interrogation, confessed that he had opened several accounts with different banks using different names and had sold them with the ATM cards to other categories of fraudsters.

Segun was said to have revealed that he has, so far, sold five of such accounts at the cost of N25,000 each to fraudsters
The prosecution counsel said the offence was punishable under Section 35 of the Cybercrime (Prohibition and Prevention Etc) Act, 2015.

Segun pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Onoja, therefore, asked the court for a trial date and to remand the accused in a correctional centre pending his trial, while the defence counsel made an oral application for his bail.

Justice Olajuwon admitted the accused to bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum and adjourned the case to December 9, 2020.

This is rampant. Almost everyone is involved in one form of fraud or the other

So where does due diligence on the part of the banks come?

grin Monday Segun I'm not surprised, that's the same way an Iragbiji drug addict claimed a new identity and is presiding over the affairs of a certain state, grabbing their lands with impunity while the aborigines are killing themselves dilapidated areas.
