Gang familiar with spirit of money dupes man of N22m in Borno
A three-man gang of fraudsters claiming to control the spirit of wealth manipulated businessman Bukar Muhammed who eventually dropped his ATM card for them.
The criminals later withdrew N22 million from an ATM in Borno.
But the state police command later arrested one of them.
The Commissioner of Police (CP), Abdu Umar said that the mode of operation of the gang was to deceive their victim into believing that they were in communication with a spirit who could assist him in becoming wealthy.
“They manipulated and directed Muhammed him to go and drop his Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card and the pin number at a certain location.
“The victim complied and the suspects withdrew the sum of N22 million from his account domiciled at TAJ Bank Plc,” Umar said.
The CP said that in the course of investigation, the suspect was trailed and arrested in February, adding that he later confessed to the crime and other similar offences.
Efforts to arrest the two other accomplices has been intensified.
