The charge was filed under the Cybercrime (Prohibition and Prevention etc) Act, 2015. Ufayo, a Relief Teller, allegedly posed as a customer named Ogunfodunrin Omowunmi Ajoke and posted false deposits into her account. He then withdrew the funds without her consent and transferred them to his personal Opay account. After pleading guilty to the charge, the case was adjourned for judgment, and Ufayo was remanded in the Ikoyi Correctional Centre. The prosecution presented his extra-judicial statement and a bank draft for the restitution amount as evidence.
