The fraudulent transfers took place on March 3, 2014. One of the
suspected fraudsters, Ademola Okunlola, a staff of Skye Bank, Ikeja

camera phone to capture the photograph and signature specimen of
Musibau. He accessed his account and sent the details to another staff
of the bank: Bayo Olowoyo at the Toyin Street, Ikeja branch.
The duo reportedly sent Musibau's photograph and signature specimen
to a member of their syndicate who effected the money transfer into two
accounts: N4.1Million( Four Million, One Hundred Thousand Naira) was
moved into Adebajo Biodun Olusola's account with Wema Bank, Shagamu
branch, Ogun State while N1,450,000.00( One Million, Four Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Naira only) was moved into another account operated by
Temitope Pedro with Guaranty Trust Bank, Ikeja branch.
The suspects were arrested following a petition by the bank.
