Former Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Fidelity Bank Plc, Mr Nnamdi Okonkwo was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over fresh discovery of alleged stolen funds of $72.87 by the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Okonkwo and Charles Onyedibe were currently being quizzed by operatives over the latest discovery.
Okonkwo, who is the Chairman of First Bank Holding, alongside others, had earlier been grilled over $153m and another $115m by the commission.
While all the $153m were recovered by the EFCC, the cases involving $115m, as it relates with the Independent National Electoral Commission bribery matter, are in various courts.
The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, disclosed these in a statement on Wednesday, titled, ‘Diezani: EFCC uncovers additional $72.87m in Fidelity Bank.’
It said, “Okonkwo, who is currently the Chairman of First Bank Holding, alongside others, had earlier been grilled over a sum of $153m and $115m by the commission.
“Okonkwo and Charles Onyedibe are currently being detained by the EFCC over the whereabouts of the new $72.87m.”
