The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC, has detained two former employees of Union Bank in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State, on suspicion of stealing N4,199,500 from a deceased bank customer.
Idah Ogoh and Agbo Okwute, the suspects, were taken into custody on Friday in Makurdi, according to a statement released on Saturday in Abuja by EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale.
According to Oyewale, the bank filed a petition against them alleging illegal debits from the account of Emmanuel Azer Agenna, a deceased client, which led to their detention.
