Justice Shambu convicted and sentenced Abdullahi to one year imprisonment or to pay a fine of N20,000 (Twenty Thousand Naira) and restitute the sum of  N30,000 to his victim.

Abdullahi’s journey to the Correctional Centre began when a petitioner alleged  that on November 22 , 2023  she got a  debit alert of N30,000 from her UBA account, having earlier in the day, gone to the bank to make a withdrawal where she met  the convict,   who offered to assist her operate the ATM. Upon releasing her card to him,  he slotted it in the machine and claimed the transaction was "unsuccessful" and returned the card to her. However, shortly after she got home, she got a debit alert of N30, 000 and also discovered that the card Abdullahi returned to her was not hers.

Upon arrest and interrogation, Abdullahi confessed that he relocated from Kano State to Bauchi State to engage in ATM card swapping to raise money for his planned wedding. He further revealed that he perfected the swapping act, all by himself; adding that the five different ATM cards found in his possession belonged to his victims.
