Man returns N900K Mistakenly deposited in His Account to EFCC
The sum of
N900,000 mistakenly deposited into the account of a customer in an new
generation bank has being returned to the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC).
Mr. Wilson
Uwajaren, the Director of Publicity, EFCC disclosed this on Monday.
According to
Uwajaren, the customer named Aliyu Usman Tilde, who owned the account having
done no business with anybody to warrant such credit in his account, reported
the suspicious lodgment to the Gombe zonal office of the EFCC.
“The EFCC
through discrete investigation discovered that the money belongs to a law firm
that was engaged by the Federal Ministry of Justice in a case that involved a
former staff of Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” he said.
While
commending the patriotism of Tilde, the EFCC spokesman urged the public to
emulate such honest attitude by reporting suspicious lodgment transaction to
relevant authorities.
