The balance in both accounts: N196, 741,216.82 and N7, 054,852.01 , were swiftly placed on a Post No Debit, to forestall dissipation of the funds pending the conclusion of investigation and determination of the case.<\/p>\n<p>The second defendant, in his statement to the Commission , admitted that majority of the funds found in his account were from the first defendant, Bakare, who confessed to being into Business Email Compromise, BEC, between 2009 and 2020 and also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/03\/24\/hackers-jailed-for-3-years-for-defrauding-klm-british-turkish-airlines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hacking<\/a> into the accounts of KLM, Turkish Airlines and British Airways.<\/p>\n<p>The fraudster were subsequently arraigned before Justice O.
