💰N13bn fraud, EFCC after Heritage Bank MD, others

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is after the Managing Director of 🏦Heritage Bank Plc, Ifie Sekibo, who has allegedly ignored a series of invitations from the commission.

Sources at the EFCC say that Sekibo was invited for his role in the alleged diversion of 💰N13bn belonging to the Oyo State Government😱

The source said the money was lodged in some secret accounts in the bank🏦 in connivance with some top state government officials❗

However, the state government said it had no knowledge of such allegation.

Apparently, letters📝 of invitation sent to the 🏦bank for the release of account officers to the said accounts were turned down❌ by the management, while the bank could not provide necessary documents relating to the accounts.

It was learnt that 3⃣ bank workers, including a relationship manager and a compliance officer, were arrested⛓ by the anti-graft agency. Detectives of the EFCC were said to have stormed the 🏦bank’s head office last week to recover some sensitive documents📝

The Group Head, Corporate Communication, Heritage Bank, Mr. Fela Ibidapo, confirmed🔈 that the EFCC was investigating some accounts at the bank while denying there is no management fraud and that the EFCC is interested in a customer's account.
