MICHAEL AKINOLA

A 30-year old POS operator, Felix Sunday Eyoh, may have tasked the Nigeria Police intelligence in Lagos to unravel how he maneuvered and swindled First Bank of Nigeria PLC to the tune of N6.9m without traces within seven days.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspect, Eyoh, was said to have manipulated the POS machine and siphoned the money from First Bank and the management was unable to trace the missing money for those days.

When the bank management later discovered the alleged fraud days after,  it was traced to Eyoh, who resides at Oloruntosin Street, Mushin area of Lagos State.
By then there was no money deposited to the POS dedicated account and the management demanded their money from their agent.

During investigation, it was discovered that Eyoh was behind the scam and the matter was reported to the Police for investigation.
He was arrested by the Police Intelligence from Area D Command, Mushin, for interrogation to know how he managed to siphon the money without traces for days.
However, there was no head way for the Police as Eyoh was said to have declined to hint how he did it.
Having been found culpable, he was consequently charged before the Isolo Magistrates Court for fraud.
He pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor. Oje Uagbale, asked the Court to give a date for hearing to enable the Police to prove he actually committed the alleged offence since he pleaded not guilty.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. A.O. Akokhia granted him bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.

He was remanded in Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending when he will perfect his bail conditions while the matter was adjourned till 26th August, 2021.
