Nigerian bank IT worker on the run after $40m cyber heist

A Nigerian IT worker is wanted by police after a major cyber-heist at the bank where he was employed. 38-year-old Godswill Oyegwa Uyoyou is alleged to have brought a team of other conspirators onto bank premises disguised as maintenance workers, and assisted them in accessing bank computer systems.
Once in, they proceeded to initiate transfers amounting to 6.28 billion Nigeria Naira ($40 million, £23.5 million), with the money believed to have ended up in bogus accounts controlled by the gang.
They were apparently in the process of withdrawing funds when their activities were spotted.read more
