He said the accused conspired to defraud Enterprise Bank by hacking into its network with through their laptops, router mode and grabber/key logger.

Atteh said the accused also attempted to fraudulently obtain the password of key operations staff of the bank through the bank’s Central Processing Unit (CPU).

The prosecutors said the attempt to hack into the bank’s CPU was done with the aim of accessing the bank’s network to conduct fraudulent transactions and transfer unauthorized money into other accounts.

He added that Ajibade, one of the accused, forged a National Diploma certificate purportedly issued by the Polytechnic, Ibadan.
