The Zone 2 Police Command in
Lagos on Sunday declared 10
suspected bankers wanted for
alleged N125.1 million scam.
The names and photographs of
the suspects were pasted on the
command’s notice board.
The command’s spokesman,
Gbenga Adeoye, who confirmed
this in Lagos, said it was normal
for the police to declare wanted
anybody suspected of crime.
It is normal for the police to
declare wanted anybody who
refuses to make himself
available after committing
crimes such as fraud, jump bail
or murder, he said.
“When we declare anybody
wanted, the photograph, names
and contact address of the
suspected fellow will be pasted
in the police formation for easy
identification of his or her
arrest,” Mr. Adeoye said.
According to him, the suspects
now at large were being
investigated for alleged forgery
and obtaining money by false
pretence.
“A warrant of arrest has been
duly obtained from a
Magistrates’ Court in Lagos state
against the suspected
fraudsters,” he said.
It was gathered that the
suspects conspired with others
to obtain financial facilities of
N15,055,541; N10,894,478 and
N24,597,628.
Other amounts were N9,983,195,
N11,114,992, N12,231,958,
N8,663,833, N10,827,561,
N5,657,937, and N15,054,383,
respectively, from a bank.
The suspected bankers are
between the ages of 34 and 48.
