Fraudster Arrested at Lagos Domestic Airport
Here is an account of a fraudster who was apprehended at the local
wing of the Muritala Mohammed Airport-MM2 today, February 9.
The fraudster (name with held) came into the FCMB branch at the airport claiming that his ATM wasn’t working, hence the need to collect money over the counter using a cheque. He wanted to withdraw the sum of N8.5 million.
In accordance with cash withdrawal of such an amount, the Customer Service Manager contacted the man’s branch about the withdrawal and was told not to let the fraudster out of the bank as there was already an incident of fraud on the account the money was to be withdrawn.
The CSM then asked him to come upstairs to get the money, but the fraudster sensing danger took to his heels.
Unfortunately for him, members of the airport taxi park and some mobile police men were alerted so they went after him and he was caught.
It was also gathered that the man’s name had been circulated before now for fraudulent activities.
