EFCC grills POS operator, sales rep over alleged diversion of N70m in Enugu
The Enugu zonal directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has commenced investigations into a point of sale (POS) operator, Miracle Onyekachi Nnaji, and a sales representative, Ibekwe Izuchukwu Emmanuel, over the alleged diversion of N70,030,450 belonging to Prince OJ Global Services Limited.
In a statement on Saturday, Dele Oyewale, EFCC spokesperson, said the suspects are being investigated for their alleged roles in the diversion of company funds traced to transactions dating back to 2023.
According to Oyewale, the company petitioned the commission after discovering that millions of naira were missing from its accounts.
He said an internal investigation conducted by an external auditor engaged by the company showed that Emmanuel, a sales representative of the firm, allegedly diverted the funds for personal use.
Oyewale said further discreet investigations by the EFCC revealed that Emmanuel allegedly connived with the POS operator, Nnaji, to divert the company’s funds.
He added that the POS operator allegedly provided Emmanuel with his POS account details, which were used to channel and divert the company’s money.
During interrogation, Emmanuel reportedly admitted to EFCC investigators that he used part of the funds to purchase a plot of land in Enugu.
According to the EFCC spokesperson, the suspect also disclosed that he refunded about N15 million to the company in the middle of 2025 after his employer engaged an external auditor and discovered irregularities in his sales records.
He said the suspects will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
