The police in Abuja have arrested and paraded one Bunmi Samuel, a 36-year-old woman who was accused of emptying victims’ bank accounts with SIM cards from their stolen phones.

The Federal Capital Territory’s Commissioner of Police, CP Haruna Garba, paraded the suspect, alongside her boyfriend on Thursday.

Garba said Samuel who is a mother of two, operates with her boyfriend, who specialises in snatching mobile phones from innocent commuters.

“After snatching phones, he removes the SIM cards and sells the phone then hands over the SIM cards to his girlfriend, Bunmi Samuel.

“The girlfriend on her part makes withdrawals of all monies from the accounts that are linked to the SIM cards.

“The police operatives have so far recovered 76 SIM cards, two Opay ATM cards and a golden wrist watch from the suspects,” he said.

The commissioner further informed of another arrest involving the duo of Gabriel Oliver and Emmanuel Ishaku who were nabbed by the security operatives as they went on a patrol.

“In the course of investigation, they confessed that they carried out attacks in a Redeemed Christian Church of God Bethel Centre, Galadimawa, Abuja and carted away several high definition electronic gadgets properties of the Church.

“The suspect led the police operatives to Bauchi and Plateau respectively, where the items were recovered. Effort is being made to arrest the co-accomplice who are on the run,” Garba assured.
