Female Banker Arraigned For Stealing N125 Million
What a man can do, like they say, women can do better. And one woman who tried to live out this dictum in the wrong way has been arraigned on a 15-count of conspiracy and fraud before the Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia State.
Marilyn-Joan Obiora, a staff of Diamond Bank Plc, was dragged to court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), followed a petition by Mr. Stephen Inegbu, the zonal security supervisor of Diamond Bank Plc in Port Harcourt, over sharp practices by the suspect and others at large.
Marilyn-Joan's fraud was detected during a routine examination of customers' accounts in the bank. According to Mr. Inegbu, the Bank's inspection unit unravelled three cases of fraud involving the following amounts: N26 million; N91.6 million; and N8 million.
The EFCC said upon further investigation, it was discovered that Marilyn-Joan masterminded the fraudulent withdrawals which amounted to a total of N125.6 million, with help from four other officials of the Bank, now at large.
Although Marilyn-Joan pleaded not guilty to the charges, Justice Umar remanded her in custody and adjourned the case to July 19th, 2012, for commencement of trial.
