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.
