 Setting the Records Straight on  Citizen Asar Michael Sesugh's  Death The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,  EFCC,  considered it imperative to clear the air on some recent incidents at its Makurdi Zonal Directorate,  Benue State.   Operatives of the Directorate arrested 26 suspected cyber fraudsters on April 28,  2026.  They were profiled and kept in custody for further investigations after obtaining a Remand Order at a Magistrate Court.  Shortly after their arrest,  specifically on May 4,  2026,  three of the suspects sought permission to use the lavatory at the Directorate's  Holding Facility and were permitted.   They cashed in on the opportunity,  broke the toilet's roof and escaped from detention.  Several efforts were made to re- arrest them to no avail.

RELIEF AS CBN SUSPENDS CHARGES ON LARGE CASH DEPOSITS.(PHOTO).


Relief as CBN suspends charges on large cash deposits
 
Relief came the way of bank depositors on Monday as the Central Bank of Nigeria has directed all banks, other financial institutions, and non-bank financial institutions, to suspend the processing charges previously imposed on large cash deposits.

This change, referenced under the “Guide to Charges by Banks, Other Financial Institutions, and Non-Bank Financial Institutions” dated December 20, 2019 (FPR/DIR/GEN/CIR/07/042), affects deposits over N500,000 for individual accounts and N3,000,000 for corporate accounts.

How stronger regulatory framework can pull more Fintechs into Nigeria’s capital market
Analysts say the suspension is a significant shift in policy and will remain in effect until the end of April 2024.

The move is seen as a fortification of the new financial landscape the apex bank is creating which demolishes some of the previous policies of the CBN.

It is also in response to the yearnings of depositors across Nigeria.

The directive mandates all financial institutions regulated by the CBN to comply by not imposing any charges on cash deposits that meet or exceed these thresholds. This development is expected to encourage more significant cash deposits, enhance liquidity, and possibly impact various sectors positively, including small and large businesses.

The move is expected to encourage hoarders to release huge chunk of cash in their possession as the fear of charges made them to withhold huge cash.
