JJYOU:
don't you just love something for nothing society? what else would like to excuse. it is like the tolerance treash hold of you guys has no limit. what is wrong with honesty? what does students need 34million naira for?

Stay loose, JJYOU. What landis meant, i believe, is that the bigger blame lies with the bank for security lapses. No one is saying those students did good.

MrCrackles:
It is baffling to hear that 34million naira was withdrawn via an ATM?!

Nigerian banks are indeed stupid

How can they allow that?

There should be a set amount allowed during a period, anything more than that, pop into the bank with genuine ID to collect!!

Shameful!!

_{oh and before i forget, woe betide all scammers and 419ers!}

Nah, the maximum amount is N20,000 at one time. He withdrew N34M (he claims it was N20M) over 2 months. Repeatedly. Or did you mean a set amount over so and so period? you're right about that. In any case they should have smelt a rat after 3, 4 withdrawals nah. haba. There were major screwups on the banks' part.

Three students of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, have been arrested by detectives of the Nigeria Police Special Fraud Unit (SFU), Milverton Road, Ikoyi.


They allegedly withdrew about N34 million fraudulently from a … Bank account through the automated teller machine (ATM). The fraud was detected at the Benin branch of Access Bank Nigeria Plc.
The principal suspect is 20-year-old Timothy Ehimea, a part-time student of Science Laboratory Technology at the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State.
Other suspects are, Ighodaro Osahon, 22, Electrical Engineering and George Osagale, 24, a Geography and Physical Planning final year student.
They are all childhood friends who hail from Esan in Edo State.
According to a source at SFU, “We received a strongly worded petition addressed to the Commissioner of Police in charge of SFU, Mr. Olayinka Balogun from Access Bank Nigeria Plc., regarding about N34 million Automated Machine Fraud (ATM) being perpetrated by an Ambrose Alli University student.
“The copy of the petition stated further that ‘one Ehimea on several occasions manipulated the ATM machine of the bank’s branch at 43B, Evifa Bufu Road, Benin City and his access card visa with number 4751-7500-0003 to withdraw the sums between April and June this year.’ Upon receiving a copy of the petition, we swung into investigation.”
Before Ehimea was arrested last week, investigation showed that he was living like a king on the campus, cruising around in his newly acquired cartoon colour Toyota Nissan Pathfinder sport utility veicle (SUV) with registration number AW 141 USR.

Ehimea was arrested inside the banking hall where, according to the source, he was officially invited for some other multi-million naira related investment with the bank and a red carpet was rolled out for the unsuspecting bank visitor. Until his arrest last week, officials of the bank inquired about his source of income and his business that netted millions of naira in such a short time.
Ehimea lied to them that he was a computer analyst and computer engineer working for a Google search agency with the United States of America, and each time they paid him with thousand of American dollars.

SFU investigations revealed further that the ATM fraud whizkid operated about five different bank accounts through which he siphoned the ill-gotten money with fake credit cards.
The cards’ numbers are: 023002300002328, 030031000360, 0300350060038; 0301510025641 and 0101620002540.
In his confessional statement, Ehimea admitted all charges levelled against him.
According to him, “what I illegally withdrew was not N34 million but N20 million.
“One morning that I needed to cash money from the bank with my Access Bank visa card, I spotted the faulty machine. I discovered that each time I withdrew money my account would not be debited, so I just kept on withdrawing.
“But each time I withdrew some money, my account was credited again. I was always scared, but I would collect it, rush back to the banking hall and re-credit my account. I did this several times that I could not even remember.”
When Ehimea sensed the looming danger, he cleverly transferred about N12 million to his friend, Ighodaro Osahon’s, account at GT Bank, Benin, for safe keep, and hired the services of one solicitor identified as Mr. Edokpaigbe Edobor to fight his cause. He was paid N50,000 for his legal services.

PM.News further gathered that Ehimea cleverly transferred some amount to different banks. These are, ;N3 million, Oceanic Bank; N17 million and United Bank of Africa ;N5 million.
When police questioned both George Osagale and Ighodaro Osahon about the level of their involvement, they denied any knowledge of the ATM scam and Ighodaro stated that “I don’t know that Ehimea had transferred the N12 million into my GTBank account.”
Items recovered from Ehimea include five credit cards and six brands of handsets.
Commenting on the ATM fraud, the Commissioner of Police, Special Fraud Unit, Mr. Olayinka Balogun, advised all parents to engaged their children meaningfully.
“Children of such ages are very clever and brilliant. If their brains were not positively engaged it could be used negatively. Idle hands are the devil’s workshops,” said Balogun.
Meanwhile, the matter has been transferred to the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, for further investigation.

Is it me or has Seun gotten up to some new tricks? i mean, do threads run from newest post to oldest posts now? Like in a thread of 6 pages, is page 1 the latest page and page 6 the oldest? and more importantly, i don't find the "your posts" icon on homepage when i log in anymore. so i can't really catch up on threads i contribute to. I didn't change my settings.

Can someone please tell me what's going on??

@Dis Guy

I don't get it. Are you pointing out the irony in an educated Igbo woman advocating polygamy? It's common in Igboland too. pretty common. It's a Nigerian thing, really.

All intending "Nigerwives", take heed:

Yeah, i think kokoye's a cool guy. weren't u the guy who posted the one about his kid that didn't want to walk?

Guys like you almost restore my faith in the Nigerian male

Thought someone has posted this on NL before

whatever happened to the "your posts" icon on home page?

Go for a 2nd degree in linguistics then go into IT and work in Computational Linguistics (CL). The IT of Linguistics. That's what I'm doing. 1st degree was English, 2nd was Master's in Linguistics (not easy with an English background, though. Must warn you). Now into CL - speech recognition, Natural Language Processing, machine translation, syntactic parsing etc. Firms like Google will snatch you up if you know your stuff. Just be ready to work hard. Goodluck.
