After the bank alerted Abubakar of the wrong posting into his company’s account,   he allegedly transferred the sum of Five Million (N5,000,000.00) each to his personal account in UBA and Keystone banks respectively. Subsequent attempts made to withdraw the remaining amount led to his arrest.

He will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
