Operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have launched an investigation into an alleged fraud amounting to N70.03 million involving a sales representative and a Point of Sale (POS) operator connected 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 accused of criminally diverting funds belonging to the firm.
The EFCC disclosed that the probe was triggered by a petition submitted by Prince OJ Global Services Limited after the company detected significant financial discrepancies in its accounts dating back to 2023.
Preliminary findings by an external auditor reportedly indicated that Emmanuel diverted company funds for personal use. However, further discreet investigations by the anti-graft agency suggested that the sales representative allegedly worked in collaboration with the POS operator, who provided his account details to facilitate the diversion of the money.
Sources within the commission revealed that Emmanuel admitted during interrogation to using part of the misappropriated funds 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 EFCC has confirmed that both suspects will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
