Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Two men, Marcus Olaitan and Ajibade Adeolu, were on Monday arraigned before an Ikeja Chief Magistrate\u2019s Court for allegedly stealing over N2 million from a First bank Automated Teller Machine (ATM).<\/p>\n

Olaitan, 43, and Adeolu, 30, both POS operators who reside in Ketu, Lagos, are being tried for conspiracy and stealing.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor, ASP Raji Akeem, told the court that the offences were committed on Sept. 4, 2023, from a First Bank PLC ATM, on CMD Road, Magodo-Shangisha, Lagos.<\/p>\n

Akeem said that the complainant, Mrs Wuraola Odeniyi, went to the ATM to withdraw money and met a man, who appeared to be one of the security men of the bank.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor added that the man, who is currently at large, offered to help the complainant, and unknown to her, he had memorized her Personal Identification Number (PIN).<\/p>\n

\u201cLater that day, the woman received a N2.517 million debit alert,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Akeem said that when the complainant went to the bank to complain, CCTV footage was played and the man she met at the ATM kiosk was seen reciting the numbers on her card.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor said that the police were able to trace the POS operators who transferred the money.<\/p>\n

The offences, according to the prosecutor, contravened sections 287 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.<\/p>\n

The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.<\/p>\n

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Bola Osunsanmi, granted them bail of N200,000 each with two sureties in like sum.<\/p>\n

Osunsanmi adjourned the case until March 18 for mention.<\/p>\n
