A staff of Access Bank PLC, Elizabeth Modupe Osunjuyigbe has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for allegedly diverting over N34 million.
She was
arrested by the EFCC on Friday, April 30, 2021.
A statement
issued by EFCC’s spokesman, Wilson Iwujaren, said the Lagos Zonal Office of the
commission made the arrest.
The EFCC said
the suspect allegedly sent a fraudulent request sometime in January to the
Branch Service Manager of Access Bank, Adeola Odeku, Lagos State, to issue a draft
of the sum of N31, 330, 165. 00 in favour of “Best Timland Nigeria Limited.”
The
commission said investigations revealed that the suspect allegedly forged a
solicitor’s letter dated January 19, 2021 directing the bank to issue the draft
in favour of Best Timland.
The statement
said she claimed that the request was for the payment of rent to the landlord
of one of the bank’s branches in Akwa-Ibom State.
The EFCC said
the suspect would soon be charged to court.
