Ex-naval Officer, Lawyer Arrested For N540m Bank Fraud by Italiano1: 9:11pm On Oct 24, 2013 |
The spate of frauds in the Banking industry in Nigeria is becoming embarrassing and it is time that the Nigerian Government take the neccessary steps to address this shameful practice: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested a retired naval captain, Okorie Ogbonnaya, for allegedly defrauding Oceanic Bank Plc (now Ecobank Plc) of over N540m. These fraudsters should face the wrath of the law and serve as an example to impending fraud criminals. For Nigeria to progress, it is imperative that these fraudulent activities are curtailed. |

Italiano1: The spate of frauds in the Banking industry in Nigeria is becoming embarrassing and it is time that the Nigerian Government take the neccessary steps to address this shameful practice: I hope these criminals rot in hell. They are a disgrace to Nigeria! No wonder, the country is labelled as a corrupt nation when the rich are consistently plotting to defraud financial institutions in other to amass more money at the expense of the poor. Shocking! I say they should be hanged |

ode remo: Good for the bank. Well. Written article with one omission, how much Did this guy paid in egunje to numerous bank officials to look The other way. The bank has several questions to answer but I won't conclude yet that they were outrightly fraudulent. The bank may have made errors of judgement rather than outright collusion, or just incompetent; since we are not sure,I think it's premature to start making conclusive statements. It will also be good to hear the story from the man/suspect. The bank issued the LC based on the guaranty from Imo state government and approved the loan using the consignment as the collateral in addition to the client's lawyer standing as surety. In any case, I find the loan approval of N196m rather curious because the man did not need it for the rice importation business to succeed because he had already got an LC of $6.5mNevertheless, many questions are begging for answers: 1. Why hasn't the bank called in the Imo state guaranty? Moreso, the bank has already paid $2.24 to the foreign bank. 2. Why did the bank release the shipping documents to the man? I expected the bank to have cleared the consignment into a warehouse from where they would release to the man. It appears that the bank did not do this thereby making the man to capitalize on the corruption in the system to divert the consignment. It seems that the bank was too far from the transaction. 3. As earlier noted, why did the bank approve N196m for the man after the issuance of the LC? 4. How much really is the consignment - the $6.5m LC or the $2.24m paid to the foreign bank? What's the reason for the major difference? Meanwhile, the dollar equivalent of N540m is about $3.6m (using N150 to a dollar). 5. Was the bank in touch with the target customer (Cooperative Federation)? If yes, how come the bank didn't know that the man had collected N20m advance from the Cooperative? If no, what's the bank explanation on this omission? 6. Was the bank not aware that the man got another $90,000 from the rice manufacturer? This is another reason why the man didn't need the N196m loan. 7. What documents did the bank collect from the lawyer who stood surety for the man for the N196m loan? Is he in court as a surety or as a co-conspirator, or both? 8. To which foreign bank did the man transfer money from First Bank? 9. This story makes the man look like a superman: he got an LC of $6.5m opened for him, got a guaranty from Imo state, received $90,000 from the rice manufacturer for logistics, collected an advance payment of N20m from the Cooperative, got a lawyer as surety, cleared off the goods to his desired location, obtained a 'dubious' court injunction to stop the bank, sold off the rice, opened another account in FirstBank, sold the rice to some other companies as well, etc!!! When found wanting, both the 'super' man and his lawyer should be made to face the maximum punishment in order to serve as a deterrent to others like him. |
