Posted by 41-year-old Ikechukwu Aghanenu, a manager with
Ecobank Nigeria Plc, Ejigbo branch, was on Wednesday
arrested for allegedly collaborating with a suspected
fraudster, Anthony Okpala, to defraud two customers of
N14m.
The customers are Mrs. Oluremi Egunjobi (now late),
and one Rabiu Lawal, who is based in the United
Kingdom.
The suspects according to reports diverted N4.014m
from the deceased’s bank account 5323007058, while
N10m was said to have been fraudulently withdrawn
from Lawal’s account, 2741128259.
34-year-old Okpala alongside another suspect still at
large had presented themselves to Aghanenu as the
relatives of the deceased with some forged documents
authorising the bank to release the sum between
September and November 2015.
Within the same period, according to PUNCH reports, the
police said Okpala paraded himself as a business partner
of Lawal and allegedly collaborated with Aghanenu to
withdraw N10m from Lawal’s account in tranches.
According a police source, “The bank reported the fraud
to the police and in the course of our investigation, it
was discovered that the fraudulent transactions were
carried out by Okpala with the knowledge of the ex-
manager and others at large.
“Okpala presented himself and another suspect at the
Ecobank’s branch in Ejigbo as relatives of the late
Oluremi (Egunjobi) and instructed the bank to liquidate
her account, which was done through the help of the
ex-manager. But he (Aghanenu) denied knowing Okpala.
“The other victim, Lawal, works in the UK and saves
money at the bank with the hope of using the money to
invest when he relocates to Nigeria. It was when he
checked his account balance that he discovered the
withdrawals and complained to the bank.”
Friday Mameh, the Police prosecutor arraigned Aghanenu
and Okpala on Thursday before an Igbosere Magistrate’s
Court on five counts bordering on fraud and forgery.
