The manager of the First City Monument Bank (FCMB) branch in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, was detained on suspicion of interfering with the dispensing of cash to customers through Automated Teller Machines (ATMs).

According to a statement made on Friday by Azuka Ogugua, the ICPC’s spokeswoman, the cash bundles were deposited into the ATMs while still wrapped, and as a result, they could not be disbursed through the machines.

She said, “The ICPC Compliance Team in Osogbo has busted an FCMB in Osogbo, Osun State, where some ATMs were loaded with cash with their wrappers un-removed, thus preventing the cash from being dispensed.

“The Team therefore directed that the wrappers be removed, and the cash loaded properly.

“However, when a follow-up visit was undertaken the following day to ascertain the level of compliance, the Team discovered that one of the ATMs was still loaded with the wrappers un-removed. The Operation Manager of the Bank was arrested and taken in for questioning.”

The ICPC added that the individuals who were detained are providing the Commission with information to aid investigations and dismantle any organised crime groups engaged in the hoarding or sale of the altered notes.
