 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.

 EFCC Arrests Auditor, Cashier for Alleged N275m Fraud in Uyo


Operatives of the  Uyo Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, have arrested Sylvanus Edet Akpan, Auditor of Ubotex Limited, Uyo  and Akaninyene Enefiok Achibong,   Cashier,  for alleged criminal conspiracy, breach of trust, forgery and stealing by conversion to the tune of N275,000,000 (Two Hundred and Seventy Five Million Naira only).


 They were arrested separately  on April 25, 2025 and May 12, 2025 in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. 


Their arrest was based on the claims of a petitioner who alleged that the duo manipulated the accounts of Ubotex Limited and fraudulently stole N275m from the company.  


 The petitioner allegedly employed the services of an external Auditor to review and audit  the financial activities of the company between 2021 and 2025 and discovered that the  suspects conspired and falsified account books and  defrauded the company of N275m by generating fictitious payment vouchers.


The auditors found out that the suspects also forged signatures of scheduled staff members saddled with various responsibilities and used the same to steal funds from the company.  The petitioner suspected that N200m was allegedly stolen by the suspects but when the external auditors completed their reviews, they discovered that N275m was actually stolen by the suspects.


  Both suspects admitted to the crimes and will be charged to court soon.
