For a 45-year-old man, Adewale Adesanya, it was a success story turned sour as he confessed how he had been making millions of Naira by using fake bank alerts to buy  goods from innocent people undetected before he was eventually arrested by the Police.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspect, Adesanya, was arrested and paraded by the Police at the Oyo State Command for allegedly generating fake bank alerts to defraud Point of Sale (POS) operators and business owners.
The suspect, Adesanya, now in Police custody and resides at 7  Awosika Street, Old Bodija area in Ibadan, Oyo State, was arrested with four bottles of a champagne brand, Dom Perignon, valued at N117,900 each as exhibits.
During interrogation, he told the Police that he was a fraudster and it was his colleague in the business, who trained him in the fraudulent act and since then, he has been in the business.
He revealed that after learning the fraudulent acts, he and his colleagues had bought goods worth millions of Naira with fake bank alerts, which they generated with an application on their phone.
He said that the last transaction he did, which exposed him, was about N185,000 for which he generated a fake bank alert for a POS operator in Ibadan.
“I cannot lie again. It is true we are doing the business. We have an application we used to generate fake bank alerts for POS operators. I am not the only one doing it. My second person fled when he heard I was arrested. We make millions of Naira with this business. The last one I did was N185,000.”
Parading the suspect at the Police headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan, the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Adebowale Williams, said that the suspect was arrested by a team of detectives led by Inspector Esoso Esoso, he confessed and mentioned his accomplices in the fraudulent act.
The Police boss said the Police will charge him before the Court for the alleged offence, which attracts several years of imprisonment if he is tried and found guilty before the Court.
