Operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have commenced investigations into an alleged N70.03 million fraud involving a sales representative and a Point of Sale (POS) operator linked to Prince OJ Global Services Limited.
Those under investigation are Ibekwe Izuchukwu Emmanuel, a sales representative of the company, and Miracle Onyekachi Nnaji, a POS operator, who are accused of criminally diverting N70,030,450 belonging to the firm.
According to the EFCC, the investigation followed a petition filed by Prince OJ Global Services Limited, which alleged that large sums of money had gone missing from its accounts, with discrepancies traced back to 2023.
Preliminary findings from an external auditor engaged by the company reportedly revealed that Emmanuel had diverted company funds for personal use. However, further discreet investigations by the EFCC indicated that the sales representative allegedly collaborated with the POS operator, who was said to have provided his POS account details to facilitate the diversion of the funds.
EFCC sources disclosed that Emmanuel admitted during interrogation to using part of the diverted money to purchase a plot of land in Enugu.
“I refunded about N15 million in the middle of 2025 when my employer brought in an external auditor and uncovered the missing transactions in my sales records,” Emmanuel was quoted as saying.
The anti-graft agency confirmed that both suspects will be charged in court upon the conclusion of investigations.
