EFCC Nabs Cameroonian in N1.5bn ATM Fraud Syndicate in Lagos

Operatives of the EFCC’s Lagos Zonal Directorate II in Ikoyi have arrested 47-year-old Cameroonian Bekono Marc Eric for allegedly defrauding a first-generation bank of N1.5bn. Investigators say he is part of a trans-border syndicate that opens Nigerian accounts to obtain ATM cards and PINs. Members then cross into neighbouring countries to make fraudulent withdrawals from high-balance customer accounts. The suspect was apprehended on April 23 in the Ikorodu area of Lagos. He will be charged to court once the investigation is complete.
