A bank official in Daura, Katsina State, was arrested on Thursday for allegedly stealing over N18 million from a customer’s account through the ATM system. The suspect, identified as an Assistant Operations Officer at a new-generation bank, is accused of conspiring with an accomplice to execute the fraudulent act.


The police spokesperson for the Katsina Command, ASP Abubakar Aliyu, confirmed the arrest and provided details during a briefing at the Police Headquarters in Katsina. The victim, Okojie Herbert, reported the incident after noticing unauthorized withdrawals from his account, leading to an investigation by the authorities.


The suspect, whose role included overseeing ATM operations at the bank’s Daura branch, conspired with his friend, David Mesioye, a staff member at the Kafur Branch, to steal N18,164,000 from the victim’s account. The theft was discovered during a routine audit, prompting the investigation.


During the inquiry, the suspect admitted to the crime, and several pieces of evidence were recovered, including ₦10,180,000 from his personal bank accounts, ₦366,900 in cash, and other valuables. Authorities are continuing to investigate the case, and the suspect is expected to be charged in court once the investigation is complete.
In addition to this arrest, the Katsina police have made progress in other criminal cases, including the apprehension of Mu’azu Yunusa, a suspect linked to two kidnapping incidents in his village of Mai Danko, Kankia LGA.
