The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) Enugu Zonal Command has arrested 12 bankers in Enugu.
The suspects are accused of “insider fraud,” according to a statement from the anti-graft agency.
Odeniyi Anthony, Deki Kingsley Onyekachi, Oguchukwu Ene, Elendu Chizaram, Victoria Ezedie, and Chidi-Ukah Obinna are among them.
Anyakora Uchenna, Onah Kingsley, Akwe Elizabeth and Chinenye Grace Acibe, Etoh Lawrence Uzochukwu, and Udeze Harrison are among the others.
The EFCC investigation revealed that the bankers allegedly stole various amounts of money from dormant accounts in an Enugu branch of an old generation bank.
The funds were transferred from various beneficiaries, with the primary beneficiary already identified.
According to the commission, all will be charged in court once the investigations are completed.
Several Nigerians have been victims of missing funds, particularly those who did not use their accounts for an extended period of time.
