Operatives from the Makurdi Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have apprehended two former Union Bank staff members, Idah Ogoh and Agbo Okwute, for allegedly embezzling N4,199,500 from a deceased customer’s account.
The arrests were made on June 21, 2024, following a complaint from the bank regarding unauthorised debits on the account of Emmanuel Azer Agenna, the deceased customer.
According to the bank’s internal investigation, Ogoh, a former Sales and Service Associate, procured a debit card on the deceased’s account, which was then handed over to Okwute.
The duo allegedly used the card to withdraw funds from the account through an accomplice.
The EFCC will charge the suspects in court once investigations are complete.
