POS operator, sales rep face EFCC questioning over alleged ₦70m diversion

Operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have commenced investigations of one Ibekwe Izuchukwu Emmanuel, a sales representative of Prince OJ Global Services Limited and Miracle Onyekachi Nnaji, a Point of Sale, POS operator, for alleged criminal diversion of N70m, belonging to the company.

According to the Head, Media & Publicity, EFCC, Dele Oyewale, the company petitioned the commission, alleging that millions of Naira were missing, dating back to 2023. Internal investigations by an external auditor hired by the company showed that the sales representative allegedly diverted the money for his personal use. However, more discreet investigations by the EFCC indicated that Emmanuel allegedly connived with the POS operator, Nnaji, to divert the money as the operator allegedly provided him with his POS account details, with which the company’s funds were diverted.

Emmanuel admitted to EFCC’s investigators that he used part of the money to purchase a plot of land in Enugu. “However, I have refunded about N15m sometime in the middle of 2025 when my boss brought an external auditor and found the missing transactions in my sales book”.

The suspects will be charged in court as soon as investigations are concluded.
