An employee of Union Bank Plc, Danasabe Ibrahim alongside three others were recently arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), for allegedly defrauding the bank of N2.05 billion.

Justice Lateef Lawal-Akapo ordered that the accused persons be remanded in Kirikiri Prisons after they pleaded not guilty to all the three counts preferred against them.
Ibrahim, 47, was arraigned along with Salihu Mahmoud, 34, Friday Isaiah, 33 and Samuel Azaaior, 30.
They were said to have on January 9, 2013, along with others, fraudulently transferred N2.05 billion from the General Ledger Account of the Jos branch of Union Bank to the bank accounts of some bureau de change domiciled in Marina and Moloney Street, Lagos. The beneficiaries of the fraudulent transfer, according to EFCC prosecutor, Mr. Kayode Oni, were Gona Bureau de Change and Dankawa Bureau de Change.
