Three bankcards traffickers arrested in Douala

Jimoh Akeem Daramola, alias 'Engineer', Ati Ogochukwu Temitope and Aletor Babra Oserieme, Nigerian nationals were on August 2, arrested at Bicec Bali for allegedly committing cyber crime, forgery and embezzlement.

They conducted these illegal activities by using forged documents. The first was attempting to make fraudulent withdrawals using white credit magnetic cards (ten in total). Half an hour later, the other two were arrested at the same agency, trying to perform the same operations.

When they were sent to the Mobile Intervention Unit, (Gmi) n ° 2 of Bonanjo, Jimoh Akeem said it was a certain James Akey who offered him these ten cards to carry out withdrawals.

Aletor Babra Oserieme declared that, she arrived in Cameroon in the company of a childhood friend, Ogochukwu Temitope to buy goods (clothes, shoes etc.) and resell them in Nigeria. She further revealed that she met Jimoh Akeem Daramola in a hotel in New Bell about two weeks ago and handed him three cards.

A visit by the police at the hotel revealed suitcases containing "suspicious" items in the rooms where the accused stayed. Their passports however proved to the police that they entered into Cameroon in the same manner. They were suspected as being part of members from a band of criminals in Central or probably West Africa.
