ZENITH BANK STAFF DEFRAUD CLIENTS OF $2MILLION

A senior official of Zenith Bank, Ms. Bukola Oritogun and two other employees have been arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad over their involvement in a $2 million scam.

The Zenith bank officials were said to have defrauded unidentified customers of the bank who wanted to purchase dollars.

The bank officials had told them that there was a special account in the bank where they could purchase dollars, and after independent checks by the victim, the claims were verified. Some of the unsuspecting customers then handed over the Naira equivalent to Oritogun who then absconded with the money.

The police were able to arrest Oritogun and recover N166 million. Oritogun was said to be in the process of fleeing the country when the arrest was made.

Zenith Bank’s spokesman, Victor Adoji said they initially detected the fraud and reported it to the anti-fraud unit of the Nigerian Police.
