Operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have commenced investigation into an alleged diversion of over ₦70 million involving a sales representative and a Point of Sale (POS) operator.
The EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, who disclosed this in a statement issued on February, revealed that those under investigation are Ibekwe Izuchukwu Emmanuel, a sales representative of Prince OJ Global Services Limited, and Miracle Onyekachi Nnaji, a POS operator.
According to the EFCC, the duo is being probed over the alleged diversion of ₦70,030,450 belonging to the company.
The Commission said the investigation followed a petition by the company, which reported missing funds dating back to 2023.
“Findings from an external audit revealed that the sales representative allegedly diverted company funds for personal use,” the EFCC stated.
Further investigations, according to the agency, showed that Emmanuel allegedly collaborated with the POS operator by using Nnaji’s account details to divert the funds.
The EFCC disclosed that Emmanuel admitted to using part of the money to purchase a plot of land in Enugu.
“I refunded about ₦15 million in 2025 after an external auditor discovered the irregularities,” he reportedly told investigators.
The Commission said the suspects would be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
