EFCC Grills POS Operator, Sales Rep for Alleged Diversion of ₦70 Million

Enugu, Nigeria, February 10, 2026

Operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have commenced investigations into an alleged diversion of company funds amounting to ₦70,030,450 (Seventy Million, Thirty Thousand, Four Hundred and Fifty Naira).

Those under investigation are Ibekwe Izuchukwu Emmanuel, a sales representative with Prince OJ Global Services Limited, and Miracle Onyekachi Nnaji, a Point of Sale (POS) operator. The suspects are being grilled over allegations of criminal diversion of the company’s funds.
The investigation followed a petition written to the EFCC by Prince OJ Global Services Limited, alleging that millions of naira had gone missing from the company’s accounts, with discrepancies traced back to 2023. According to the petition, an internal audit conducted by an external auditor engaged by the company revealed that the sales representative allegedly diverted the funds for personal use.

Further discreet investigations by the EFCC, however, suggested that Emmanuel allegedly connived with the POS operator, Nnaji, to carry out the diversion. The Commission alleged that the POS operator provided Emmanuel with his POS account details, which were then used to channel and divert the company’s funds.

During interrogation, Emmanuel reportedly admitted to EFCC investigators that he used part of the diverted funds to purchase a plot of land in Enugu. He also disclosed that he had made a partial refund of the money.

“However, I have refunded about ₦15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million Naira) sometime in the middle of 2025 when my boss brought an external auditor and found the missing transactions in my sales book,” Emmanuel was quoted as saying.

The EFCC stated that investigations are ongoing and assured that the suspects will be charged to court upon the conclusion of inquiries into the matter.
