A bill proposing a 20-year jail term for fraudulent bank employees has passed second reading at the house of representatives.

February 2, 2022 6:17 PM

“It is no longer news that computer fraud, which includes hacking of people’s accounts, forms part of the majority of the fraud perpetrated in our country in recent times and has consistently been on the rise,” he said. “On further research, it has also been revealed in police investigations on the activities of corrupt bank staff that the fraudsters scout for obituaries of well-to-do members of the public, use bank employees to determine the deceased’s account balance, clone their SIM cards for online transfer, and all sorts.

“In a different circumstance, bank officials suffocate and frustrate their customers for no reason because there is no framework that brings those officials to order,” he said. “If you look at it, for example, most banks that failed, the directors will simply form another bank and then they move on and then Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation will give people N500,000.”

“There must be restitution. An institution that accommodates somebody who can occasion fraud on a bank customer — the bank itself — should be liable to putting back the victims in a state he was before that fraud.”
