The Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has successfully secured the conviction of two former bank employees over fraudulent activities involving about N7.8 million.
The defendants, Obadofin Daniel Bamise and Hadiza Oyiza Yakubu, were separately arraigned on one-count charges bordering on fraud.
After hearing the case, Justice A. A. Bello of the Kaduna State High Court found them guilty and sentenced each of them to seven years imprisonment.
According to the court’s ruling, the offences were proven beyond reasonable doubt, leading to their conviction and subsequent jail terms.
The judgment underscores the judiciary’s firm stance on financial crimes and its commitment to ensuring accountability within the banking sector.
The EFCC had prosecuted the case as part of its ongoing efforts to combat corruption and financial misconduct across the country.
