Operatives of the Inspector-General
of Police monitoring team at Kam Salem, Obalende, Lagos, have launched a
man-hunt for manager of the Ladipo branch of one of the first generation banks
over an alleged N100million fraud.
However, the bank manager’s lover in
whose account the fleeing suspect was alleged to have lodged some of the stolen
amount had been arrested.
She was, however, released four days
later when the bank’s manager refused to show up.
Preliminary investigation, according
to Police sources, showed that the fleeing bank manager allegedly withdrew N35
million from customers’ accounts in Ladipo Branch alone.
Police sources stated that when the
illicit deed was discovered last week by the bank, the manager escaped before
the arrival of the Police.
“Part of the amount was traced to his
girlfriend’s account. What the suspect does is, each time he makes the illegal
withdrawal from customers’ accounts, he would use his girlfriend’s Certificate
of Incorporation, to open several other accounts in other banks where he would
lodge the amount.
