EFCC nabs banker for selling new Naira notes to POS operator
The POS Agent, Obasi, was also arrested alongside the banker by operatives of EFCC’s Port Harcourt Zonal Command.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has nabbed a banker, Soberechukwu Ewa, for allegedly selling fresh naira notes to a POS cashier, Azubuike M. Obasi.
Obasi, the POS Agent, was detained alongside the banker by EFCC officers from the Port Harcourt Zonal Command.
According to a news statement issued by EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale on Friday, the suspects were apprehended at Ecobank, Rumuobiakani, and Maddox Nightclub in Port Harcourt’s new Government Reservation Area (GRA).
Oyewale stated that a preliminary inquiry revealed that the banker reportedly specialised in supplying new naira notes of various denominations to POS cashiers for commercial purposes.
Obasi, on the other hand, was arrested in a cash swindle.
“He was arrested while in possession of N554,600.00 (five hundred and fifty-four thousand, six hundred naira). The two suspects would soon be charged to court,” the spokesman said.
