Read EFCC press release below...
Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye of a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja, has
convicted and sentenced the trio of James Ettete; Ekene Jude and Abidemi
Adesanya to two and half years imprisonment each, for stealing the sum
of N480,000( Four Hundred and Eighty Thousand Naira only) belonging to
Skye Bank Plc.
They were arraigned in May 2014, on a six- count
charge, bordering on conspiracy to commit felony, forgery and use of
false document. Justice Ipaye found them guilty on all the counts and
convicted them accordingly. The sentence is to run from the day of
arraignment.
Troubles came for the convicts, when the management of Skye Bank
petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over
their fraudulent activities.
They were operating as a syndicate of fraudsters, who specialized in
stealing bankers' identity, to enable them effect fraudulent wire
transfers from unsuspecting and well-funded customers' account. They
contacted some staff of the bank to join the syndicate.
However, the staff members informed the bank and were asked to play along. They were later arrested by operatives of the EFCC.
