P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the suspect allegedly forged a Solicitor’s letter dated January 19, 2021, directing the bank to issue the draft in favour of Best Timland, claiming that request was for the payment of rent to the landlord of one of the bank’s branches in Akwa Ibom State.

After preliminary investigations, the suspect, Elizabeth, was found culpable and will soon be charged to Court for prosecution.
