Men of the National Drug
Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) recently arrested
in Lagos, a man with dual identity who was in position of 107 Automated Teller
Machine (ATM) cards belonging to Citi
Bank, reports ITRealms.
The Lagos Airport
commander, NDLEA, Mr. Hamza Umar, told ITRealms that the suspect was arrested after the
discovery by his men during the outward screening of Turkish Airline passengers
to Istanbul, Turkey, at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA)
Lagos.
The suspect, 36, he said,
goes with two international passports bearing his photographs but with
different names.
“He had a Nigerian passport with the name Funsho Oladimeji Babatunde and a
Turkish passport with the name Kosar Kursat both bearing his photographs.
The cards found in his luggage are 68 Citi Interswitch Master Cards and 39 Citi
Interswitch Visa cards,” Hamza revealed.
The
suspect, he said, had confessed to being a native of Iwo town in Kwara State,
resides in Surulere, Lagos and is an Ordinary National Diploma (OND) graduate
on Economics, from the Kwara State Polytechnic, allegedly told
his interrogators he was taking the cards to a friend in Turkey.
“My friend in Turkey called
me that I should help in sending the cards to him in Istanbul, Turkey.
“When I collected the cards
in Lagos, I kept them in my bag but during search, the officer saw the cards
and took me for interrogation. I am an OND graduate of Economics at the Kwara
State Polytechnic”, he explained.
Reacting, the
Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, directed the transfer of
the suspect to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for further
investigation as the offence was an indication of fraudulent activities.
