Female banker defrauds Emir of Kano of N17million

A female banker identified as
Amina Magaji, who works with
one of the old generation
banks has reportedly defrauded
the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado
Bayero, to the tune of
N17million.

The Emir reportedly opened the
account with the said bank in
1967 but left it dormant over
the years and the amount in the
account grew to N46million.

Amina who is highly placed in
the bank got tempted and
deceptively requested for a
cheque book, claiming it was
for the emir. She started
operating the account and
withdraw monies from the
account to the tune of
N17million.

Her immediate boss eventually
noticed the difference in the
signature of the Emir they have
in their file and that of the
signature on a cheque Amina
presented and alerted the
authorities.

Amina who is said to be
married to a top staff of a
broadcast organisation is
currently in the custody of the
EFCC alongside 12 colleagues
who have been identified as
accomplices. The bank has
however raised the 17million
from the accounts of Amina
and her other accomplice and
returned to the Emirs account.
