The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says its Enugu Zonal Command has arrested 12 bankers for suspected insider fraud.
In a Saturday statement, the anti-graft commission said that the arrests were made on Friday, October 14.
“The suspects are: Odeniyi Anthony, Deki Kingsley Onyekachi, Oguchukwu Ene, Elendu Chizaram, Anyakora Uchenna, Onah Kingsley, Akwe Elizabeth and Chinenye Grace Acibe.
“Others are: Victoria Ezedie, Chidi-Ukah Obinna, Etoh Lawrence Uzochukwu and Udeze Harrison,” the statement read in part.
The EFCC said preliminary investigations showed that the suspects allegedly stole funds from some dormant accounts in a branch of an old generation bank in Enugu.
It said the stolen funds were transferred from the dormant accounts to various beneficiaries, with the principal beneficiary already identified by the commission.
“The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” the commission said.
