EFCC Arraigns Two For Hacking Into Enterprise Bank’s Database

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commision (EFCC) yesterday arraigned two men for allegedly attempting to hack into the database of Enterprise Bank Plc.
The suspects are Ola Lawal, Abass Ajide while the third person Olumide Kayode was said to be at large.
The defendants were arraigned on a four count charge  bordering on conspiracy to defraud, felony, stealing and forgery before the court presided over by Justice Lateef Lawal-Akapo.

According to the prosecution, Seidu Atteh, the suspects conspired to defraud Enterprise Bank by hacking into the bank’s network with their laptop, router model and grabber/key logger to obtain the password of key operations staff through the Central Processing Unit (CPU).
He said the defendants aimed to access the network of the bank without authority to conduct fraudulent transactions.
Atteh alleged that the defendants wanted to access the CPU to conduct fraudulent transactions and transfer unauthorised money into other accounts.
He also alleged that the second defendant, Ajibade forged a Certificate of National Diploma purportedly issued by The Polytechnic of Ibadan to one Ajibade Abass Rotimi with matriculation number 029511.
He said the offences were committed on July 10, last year within Ikeja Judicial Division.
