EFCC arrests 12 bankers for fraud in Enugu

Twelve bankers have been detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission's (EFCC) Enugu Zonal Command on suspicion of insider fraud.

The 14th of October 2022 saw their arrest.

The 12 suspects were identified as Odeniyi Anthony, Deki Kingsley Onyekachi, Oguchukwu Ene, Elendu Chizaram, Anyakora Uchenna, Onah Kingsley, Akwe Elizabeth, and Chinenye Grace Acibe in a statement released by EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren on Saturday.

The others are Udeze Harrison, Etoh Lawrence Uzochukwu, Victoria Ezedie, and Chidi-Ukah Obinna.

The suspects are claimed to have stolen money from some inactive accounts at a branch of an older generation bank in Enugu, according to the commission's first findings.

“The stolen funds were transferred from the dormant accounts to various beneficiaries, with the principal beneficiary already identified by the EFCC.

“The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” the commission said.
