travelled all the way from Enugu to Sokoto on the 3/4/2018. On arrival, he met a taxi driver in person of one Sunday Mba and ask Sunday where he could get a bureau de change operator and Sunday Mba took him to the complainant’s office as a genuine customer who want to buy American dollars. After negotiating with the complainant to buy $50 US Dollars, the suspect at large, requested for the complainant’s account details in order to make payment of naira equivalent. The complainant sent the account details via a text message into phone number provided by the suspect now at large and he immediately forwarded the text message to the team members in Enugu. The same information was used to fill the 2 cheque leaves as I earlier stated crediting the account of the complainant (PW1) and it is the same 2 cheque leaves that were presented by the defendant at Diamond Bank Okpara Avenue, Enugu and at that time it was Udoma Joseph who was the payment cashier at that Diamond Bank Okpara Avenue, Enugu. The cheques were collected by the said payment cashier Udoma Joseph and forwarded for clearance but before the clearance was given, Udoma Joseph credited the account of the beneficiary in person of Aliyu Sahabi Yar Abba with the sum of N10 million and N8 million N250 thousand naira. After clearance process it was found at that the account of CF and IS have no cash backing to effect the payment, and so the payment was reversed. That is all.
