The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has commenced investigations of one Ibekwe Izuchukwu Emmanuel, a sales representative with Prince OJ Global Services Limited, an Enugu based company, for allegedly diverting over N70 million belonging to his employer

Emmanuel is being probed alongside one

Miracle Onyekachi Nnaji, a Point of Sale, POS operator working for the same company, for the alleged criminal diversion, EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale said in a statement on Saturday.

According to the statement, the company petitioned EFCC alleging that millions of Naira were missing, tracing back to 2023.

EFCC said internal investigations by an external auditor hired by the company had revealed that Emmanuel allegedly diverted the money for his personal use.

But EFCC said more discreet investigations by its operatives in Enugu indicated that Emmanuel connived with the POS operator, Nnaji to divert the money.

The anti graft agency said findings by the operatives revealed that the POS operator provided Emmanuel with his POS account details, with which the company’s funds were diverted.

The statement also indicated that Emmanuel admitted to EFCC’s investigators that he used part of the money to purchase a plot of land in Enugu. But he said he has refunded part of the money.

“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,” he reportedly told the EFCC investigators

EFCC said suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
