The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC yesterday arraigned two 
men for allegedly attempting to hack into the internet network of 
Enterprise Bank Plc. The suspects include Ola Lawal, Abass Ajide while the 
third person Olumide Kayode was said to be at large.

The defendants who were arraigned before Justice Lateef Lawal-Akapo, on a 
four count charge offence bordering on conspiracy to defraud, felony, 
stealing and forgery pleaded not guilty to the four count charge.

EFCC counsel, Mr. Seidu Atteh, said that the suspects conspired to defraud 
Enterprise Bank and hacked into the bank’s network with their laptop 
computer, router model and grabber/ key logger to obtain the password of 
key operations staff through the Central Processing Unit (CPU).

He said the defendants aimed to access the network of the bank without 
authority to conduct fraudulent transactions. Atteh alleged that the 
defendants wanted to access the CPU to conduct fraudulent transactions and 
transfer unauthorised money into other accounts.
