The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Enugu Zonal Directorate, has commenced investigations into a sales representative and a Point of Sale (POS) operator over the alleged diversion of more than N70 million belonging to a private company.
Those under investigation are Ibekwe Izuchukwu Emmanuel, a sales representative with Prince OJ Global Services Limited, and Miracle Onyekachi Nnaji, a POS operator.

According to the EFCC, the suspects are being investigated for the alleged criminal diversion of N70,030,450 traced to the company’s funds.
The anti-graft agency said the investigation followed a petition submitted by Prince OJ Global Services Limited, which alleged that millions of naira had gone missing from its accounts since 2023.
An internal probe conducted by an external auditor engaged by the company reportedly revealed that Emmanuel allegedly diverted the funds for personal use. Further discreet investigations by the EFCC, however, indicated that the sales representative allegedly acted in connivance with the POS operator.
EFCC sources said Nnaji allegedly provided Emmanuel with his POS account details, which were used to divert the company’s funds.
During interrogation, Emmanuel reportedly admitted to the allegations, telling EFCC investigators that he used part of the money to purchase a plot of land in Enugu.
“I used part of the money to buy a plot of land in Enugu,” he was quoted as saying. “However, I refunded about N15 million sometime in the middle of 2025 when my boss engaged an external auditor and discovered the missing transactions in my sales book.”
The EFCC said both suspects would be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
