The Police Command in the FCT have begun
investigation into the alleged theft of N6.8
million from the ATM of a bank at Jabi District,
Abuja, on Saturday.
DSP Altine Daniel, the command's spokesperson,
who disclosed this on Tuesday in an interview
with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja,
said that a suspect had been arrested in
connection with the theft.
He said that the 27-year-old suspect (name
withheld), allegedly broke into the ATM
belonging to one of the old generation banks
and stole the money.
Daniel, however, said that the amount that was
stolen was recovered "intact" from the suspect
after he was arrested in the premises of the
bank.
"On Sept. 21, at about 10 a.m., some staff of the
bank came to report at our office at Utako that
their ATM had problem.
"When our men moved to the scene and started
looking for clues and anything that will assist
them in their investigation, they noticed that the
CCTV monitor room had been tampered with.
"After a thorough search, they also noticed that
the door of the toilet in the room was locked
from within and when they opened it, they
found somebody seated.
"The suspect was picked up and taken to the
station where he confessed to the crime," she
said.Daniel said the suspect claimed to have learned the act of opening safe from the
"youtube" (Internet) and thereafter, bought
some tools, including screw driver and pliers, to
carry out the act.
She alleged that the suspect removed N6. 87
million from the ATM and packed them in bags
before his arrest.
"Investigations into the case has started and we
are trying to find out if he acted alone or he has
some accomplices," she said.
