The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly written Mastercard Inc and Visa Inc requesting for details of credit cards used by Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley.
The anti-graft agency said the cards it recovered from the artiste were used for alleged identity theft and credit card fraud.
As stated in the document obtained by Punch, the EFCC wrote Mastercard and Visa on Monday, May 13, 2019, three days after the music star was arrested.
The letter titled ‘Investigation Activities’ was signed by Dein Whyte, the Zonal Head, EFCC, Lagos.
The EFCC letter to Mastercards reads, “The commission is investigating a case of identity theft and electronic cards-related fraud in which the listed card information were recovered during investigation.”
However, the Commission in its letter to Visa asked the company to provide information about the last five transactions on each of three Visa cards recovered from Naira Marley, Punch reports.
According to the newspaper, the first card with number 4921819410257431 was issued by Lloyds Bank Plc and bears the name Timea Fedorne Tatar.
