EFCC probes sales rep, POS operator over ₦70m fraud

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Enugu Zonal Directorate, have launched an investigation into a sales representative and a Point of Sale (POS) operator over the alleged diversion of ₦70.03 million belonging to Prince OJ Global Services Limited.

The suspects, identified as Ibekwe Izuchukwu Emmanuel, a sales representative with the company, and Miracle Onyekachi Nnaji, a POS operator, are being probed for their alleged roles in the misappropriation of company funds traced back to 2023.

According to the EFCC, the company petitioned the commission after discovering discrepancies in its finances. An internal review by an external auditor reportedly indicated that the sales representative diverted large sums of money for personal use.

Further investigations by the anti-graft agency suggested that Emmanuel allegedly conspired with the POS operator, who provided account details that were used to channel the company’s funds.

During questioning, Emmanuel reportedly admitted to using part of the money to purchase a plot of land in Enugu. He also disclosed that he refunded about ₦15 million in mid-2025 after an audit uncovered irregularities in his sales records.

The EFCC said both suspects would be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
