ABEOKUTA – Police in Ogun have arrested a 30-year-old woman after she was allegedly found with 88 ATM cards belonging to different banks and accused of attempting to lure a seven-year-old girl.
Security analyst, Zagazola Makama, said the suspect, identified as Success Olafemi of Kara Makasia near the Redeemed Christian Church of God’s Camp in Ogun State, was arrested on Saturday, August 22, 2026.
The arrest followed information received by police at about 10:00am from a woman identified as Tope Makinde of Iwe-Lepe village along Sagamu Road.
The informant reportedly told police that Olafemi had gone to Ewu-Lisa via Simawa at about 9:00am, where she allegedly attempted to lure a seven-year-old girl identified as Jumat, whose surname was not immediately known.
The report said the suspect allegedly used N200 notes and sachets of Milo tea to entice the child before she was apprehended.
A search of the suspect reportedly led to the recovery of 88 ATM cards belonging to different financial institutions.
The cards included 25 OPay cards, 13 UBA cards, two Skye Bank cards, seven Keystone Bank cards, nine GTBank cards, 10 Zenith Bank cards, two PalmPay cards, four Ecobank cards and 11 First Bank cards.
Police also reportedly recovered N7,000 in cash, mostly in N200 denominations, alongside sachets of Milo and Nescafé tea from her handbag.
“During questioning, she reportedly failed to provide a satisfactory account of how she came into possession of the large number of ATM cards,” Makama said.
The suspect is being held in police custody as detectives investigate the circumstances surrounding the recovered cards and the allegation involving the child.
