The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested four individuals in Abuja on suspicion of hacking into bank systems.
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale revealed that the suspects, including alleged syndicate leader Chima Anthony Nwigwe and Downstone Ultimate Limited’s managing director Damian Ali, were apprehended for unauthorized access, conspiracy, and illegal withdrawals from customers’ accounts.
The arrests followed a targeted EFCC operation based on intelligence reports. Oyewale added that the suspects allegedly accessed bank databases to facilitate fraudulent transfers through digital channels. They will be formally charged once investigations conclude.
