I Defraud Naive ATM Users After Offerring Help To Them – Suspected Fraudster

An Automated Teller Machine, ATM, card fraudster, whose name was given as Joshua Adejumo, has been arrested in Oyo state with different 14 cards in his possession belonging to various banks.

The 38-year-old was nabbed by operatives of the police command in the state after a complaint was lodged against him by a victim at the Iyaganku Police Station.

The State Commissioner of Police, CP, Mr. Leye Oyebade, while parading the suspect at the Police headquarters at Eleyele, Ibadan on Thursday, said “Joshua, in his usual manner, approached one Abosede Ganiyu, a sales girl, who had gone to withdraw money from the ATM of a commercial bank at Dugbe and offered to render assistance to the victim.
“While pretending to help, he deceived his victim into believing that the card had been seized by the machine, but cleverly hid it only to use the same card to withdraw N214, 000 from the savings account of one Temitope, who had sent her sales girl to make some withdrawal for her.”
The suspect, Joshua, who claimed to be a commercial driver said: “Someone did it to me. That was why I started doing it. Whenever I see anyone come to the ATM and cannot operate the machine, I offer assistance to them.
“I will then say their ATM card is stuck in the machine.
“The unsuspecting customer proceeds into the banking hall to complain and I would, thereafter, withdraw money from the customer’s account.
“I do not get a lot of money from this act. The money I get I use to maintain myself,” the suspected fraudster confessed.
The CP noted that the suspect will be charged to court soon.

One year in office: Buhari reveals his biggest shock as President

President Muhammdu Buhari has revealed his greatest shock since assuming power on May 29, 2015.
He said he could not believe when he was informed that Nigeria had over the years squandered all its precious foreign exchange on the importation of food items and other frivolous items, including tooth picks.

Speaking in Abuja yesterday to editors and newspaper executives in an interview to mark the administration’s first year in office, Buhari said last year, when oil prices fell to $40 per barrel, he summoned Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria [CBN] Godwin Emefiele and asked to see what it was that Nigerians were buying with foreign exchange.
He said, “Up to 2013, we were earning on average over $100 per barrel from oil but by fabulous coincidence, it went down to about $30 per barrel when we came in. There was no money to import food. For me, it was the biggest shock.
“Nigeria became an oil economy and we left agriculture and solid minerals and everyone went to the city to look for oil money.”
On his opposition with regards to naira devaluation, he said when he was military Head of State in 1984-85, World Bank and International Monetary Fund [IMF] experts advised him to devalue the naira and remove subsidy on petrol and flour. He said even though they pressed him hard, he did neither of the two.
He said this was because countries that benefitted from currency devaluation were developed countries that produced more products after devaluation and were able to export more because their goods became more competitive.
Buhari further recalled: “When I was removed [as military Head of State] in 1985, the dollar was one naira fifty kobo. Now naira is 350 to the dollar. Tell me the benefits we derived from that? How many factories were built in those years? Economists are not able to explain this to me. I am still waiting for economists to tell me why we should continue to devalue the naira. However, I don’t rule the country alone, so we must accommodate the economists.”
Buhari disclosed that he believes in privatisation of state owned firms, as “It is much more efficient.”
He recalled that as Federal Commissioner for Petroleum Resources in General Obasanjo’s military regime in the 1970s, he signed contracts to build Warri and Kaduna refineries and to expand Port Harcourt refinery as well as build the depots and pipelines.
He said, “Should we sell them as scrap? We cannot spend so much of our national resources to develop infrastructure and then sell them a scrap. We must first take into consideration our state of development. We must repair them first so we can negotiate with the buyers from a position of strength.”

Calls For Probe Of APC’s Campaign Funds Misplaced- Oyegun

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has faulted calls for probe into the funding of its presidential campaign in 2015, which brought President Muhammadu Buhari to power.
The calls were made by a section of Nigerians against the backdrop of probe of the source of funding of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which was ousted from power last year by the APC.
Specifically, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, alleged that $2.1 billion originally meant for arms purchase to fight Boko Haram in the Northeast, was diverted by the former National Security Adviser, NSA, Sambo Dasuki, to fund the re-election of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Allison-Madueke, is also being probed by the anti-graft agency for allegedly distributing $115 million (N23 billion) during the election.
Already, the EFCC has filed several cases against Mr. Dasuki and several other PDP chieftains, accused of benefitting from the largesse, which came from the treasury.
However, some Nigerians have said for the anti-corruption campaign of the present administration to be regarded as impartial and all encompassing, the funding of APC’s presidential campaign should also be scrutinized by the anti-graft agency.
For instance, former Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Organization and Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has been accused by the PDP of using Rivers State money to oil the political machinery of the Buhari campaign.
Mr. Amaechi, who was Rivers Governor, spearheaded the APC presidential campaign that defeated Mr. Jonathan and PDP in the 2015 presidential campaign.
Speaking on “The Encounter with Constance Ikowu”, a programme on WEFM, the national chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie- Oyegun said that it was wrong to ask the EFCC to investigate the sources of funding for the APC campaign because unlike the PDP, his party did not use public money to fund its presidential election.
He said, “You are comparing apples and grapes. It is the people’s money. You can’t use the money of the people to run parties and so the APC today is suffering from that basic correct policy decision.
“But campaign funds cannot come from the monies that belong to the generality of Nigerians.
“Individuals can donate, and companies can donate subject to limits that the law provides. We are not touching those. But where you take monies meant for positioning troops in the North East to fight against Boko Haram to fund parties (and) the most recent – when you take our crude, gave unregistered crude to exporters, repatriate the proceeds and use them to finance your political campaigns – that is wrong. That is impunity at its worst. So they are not comparable”.
Stating that the PDP campaign funds being investigated by the EFCC was “just a tip of the iceberg”, Mr. Oyegun clarified that the Buhari-led APC administration was not probing the donations individuals made to the PDP during the polls, but the utilization of public funds.
“So don’t link it with the PDP because it has nothing to do with the PDP”, he stressed.
The APC national chairman said the Buhari administration was trying to lay down principles which must be followed by all with a view to removing impunity in governance.
“We are laying down the principles that must be established in this nation. What is going on now is just a tip of the iceberg. There are certain basic principles we must establish in this nation”.
Oyegun also revealed that there were serving APC governors and ex-governors under investigation currently but not in connection with campaign funding as was the case of the PDP.
He, however, stressed that President Buhari would not shield any of the governors if they were found to have used public monies to fund campaigns.
“As at today, of course there are APC governors and ex governors that are under investigation, maybe not in respect or specifically campaign funds, but there are”, said Mr. Oyegun.
“The basic principle is – impunity must be removed from the system and wherever the tree falls, so let it be!
“I am sure that if that happens, the kind of president that we have will look the other way. Normal process must take its course”.
On calls for the arrest of Mr. Jonathan, the APC national chairman “I cannot speak for the government; I can speak for the party. Wherever the tree falls so be it. I don’t think it will get to that. What is important is that if you receive stolen goods…..”
