“Nemesis caught up with the suspects when they stole the ATM card of one Rabi’atu Garba of the Mani LGA of Katsina State and started calling her that they were spirits and asked her to avail them her ATM card PIN. The suspects deceitfully told her that they were about to bless her by sending N1m to her account and directed her to go to the UBA branch in Katsina and update her account. She became suspicious and reported the matter at the Central Police Station, Katsina.

“In the course of investigation, the suspects were trailed and arrested. They confessed to the crime and stated that they had defrauded several unsuspecting persons in the state through the same mode of operation.”
