The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested one Awulu Friday Ayegba, a banker with a new generation bank, for withdrawing money from the bank account of a customer.
The Commission said Ayegba, a relationship manager with a new generation bank, allegedly masterminded fraudulent withdrawals of N14.8 million from a customer’s account between June 7- July 21, 2023.
The EFCC noted that he impersonated the duo of Henry Olowo and Terseer Shibiam using fake passport photographs, national identification number and phone numbers to open bank accounts with two company names.
According to the commission “the names of the companies he opened are; Sulib Complex & Investments and Seamless & More Global which are not duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC.”
Intelligence also revealed that the suspect forged documents belonging to one Nduka Obinna to fraudulently apply for a loan facility to the tune of N40,000.000.00 while planning to abscond abroad with his family.
“He will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.” EFCC said.
