The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a staff of Access Bank, Lagos State branch, Elizabeth Modupe Osunjuyigbe for an alleged fraudulent diversion of funds to the tune of over ₦34m.
In a statement issued on Friday by EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, the suspect was quizzed by Lagos zonal office of the anti-graft agency.
“The suspect, who was arrested on Friday April 29, 2021, 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 ₦31,330,165 in favour of one Best Timland Nigeria Limited,” the statement read.
