N15 Million Fraud: Arrested Bank Manager cries out for help 8 days after in detention

www.odogwublog.com reports that the Nice Micro Finance Bank Nise, Manager, Nneka Oragu arrested over missing N15 Million naira has cried out to the Human Rights

Groups in Anambra state to intervene in her case.

Nneka from Nsukka , Enugu state is worried that the person that authorized the release of the cash is free while herself carrying the orders of the bank owner is dumped in detention for 8 days without trial .

The relatives who spoke to www.odogwublog.com on condition of anonymity are alleging that the police officials were given N300, 000 to ensure her side of the story is swept under the carpet unknown to them that she has deposed her statements on the matter with appropriate authorities in charge of human rights .

According to them , she lamented that she has been held for 8 days without attention to herself as a woman as if she is a criminal whereas she is not.

They said she has authorized contact with some layers and civil society groups like Civil Liberties Organization (CLO), Intersociety and FIDA among others to intervene in the humiliation.

Oragu, the Bank Manager , Nice Micro Finance Bank Nise , Eke Awka Branch was declared wanted in some National Dailies last year over missing N10 Million fraudulent transactions.

But after months of hiding , she surrounded herself to the police about 10 am last week Monday but was immediately arrested and dumped into the cell since then on orders of the Bank Chairman.

But Nneka’s startling revelation on how the transactions went and why she should not be held liable but that the police should rather beam its search light to the  Chairman of the Board of Directors of the bank led to the invitation of the Board Chairman , Sir Chris Onoh . He was detained but released on self recognition and endorsement of the former Chairman, Igwe Romanus Iloh, police sources said. Onoh is the President General of Nise town Union.

It would be recalled that Nice Micro finance bank was known as Nise Community bank before it was upgraded to Nice Micro finance bank. It has branches across Anambra state with headquarters at Nise Ngene-Awka junction. 

The money allegedly missing according to the police source was over N15 Million but currently the bank estimates it to N10 Million rather than N8 Million initially dangled before the public.

The magnitude of the fraud already exposed to the police by Nneka indicted some members of the Board and another statement by a sacked senior staff of the bank at another branch who was said to have reigned implicated in some other sharp practices in the bank.

Police source said that the fraud perpetuated against shareholders of the bank has ran some of the bank’s branches aground.  

The former Chairman of the Bank/ traditional ruler of Nise , Igwe Romanus Iloh, or the present Chairman, Sir Chris Onoh could not be contacted as their phones were not connecting as at press time.

Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Uche Ezeh said he is yet to be briefed by the CID allegedly handing the case as at press time.
