The arrest, made by an alert Police officer at a First Bank branch in Tudun Katsira area of Katsina, unveiled a sophisticated scheme of ATM card swapping and fraudulent withdrawals targeting unsuspecting bank customers across the State.

Parading the suspect alongside others arrested for various crimes, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Sadiq Abubakar, stated that the 37-year-old suspect had used the stolen ATM cards to withdraw amounts ranging from ₦49,000 to ₦900,000 from victims’ bank accounts. Preliminary investigations linked him to multiple incidents, with a total of ₦2.7 million stolen.

The Katsina State Police Command also highlighted other significant breakthroughs in its fight against crime, including arrests related to kidnapping, theft, armed robbery, and vandalism.

In Kankia Local Government Area, operatives arrested Mu’azu Yunusa, a suspect linked to two kidnapping incidents in Mai Danko village. Yunusa was alleged to have orchestrated the abduction of five victims, including a 14-year-old girl and a housewife, in October and November, 2024. His arrest followed complaints from victims’ families and subsequent investigations confirming his involvement.
