How we extract bank details from stolen phones to withdraw money —Suspects

THE Lagos State Police Command has smashed a syndicate that specialised in dispossessing victims’ phones for the purpose of getting their account details and making withdrawals without the account holder’s knowledge.

Arrested were six suspected members of the gang, among them: a staff of one of the second generation banks and a pickpocket. Before the arrest, security agents in particular and Nigerians in general have been inundated with complaints from persons who fell victims to these fraudsters.

Some personal experiences were even circulated via whatsapp and other social media platforms, warning Nigerians to guard their phones.
