EFCC Grills POS Operator, Sales Rep for Alleged Diversion of N70m
The operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have commenced investigations of one Ibekwe Izuchukwu Emmanuel, a sales representative of Prince OJ Global Services Limited and Miracle Onyekachi Nnaji, a Point of Sale, POS operator for alleged criminal diversion of N70, 030, 450 (Seventy Million, Thirty Thousand, Four Hundred and Fifty Naira) belonging to the company.
The company petitioned the EFCC alleging that millions of Naira were missing, tracing back to 2023. Internal investigations by an external auditor hired by the company showed that the sales representative allegedly diverted the money for his personal use. However, more discreet investigations by the EFCC indicated that Emmanuel allegedly connived with the POS operator, Nnaji to divert the money as the operator allegedly provided him with his POS account details, with which the company’s funds were diverted.
Emmanuel admitted to EFCC’s investigators that he used part of the money to purchase a plot of land in Enugu. “However, I have refunded about N15, 000, 000. 00 (Fifteen Million Naira) sometime in the middle of 2025 when my boss brought an external auditor and found the missing transactions in my sales book”.
The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
