Bankole: EFCC quizzes 2 bank MDs
EFCC Politics, Headlines, House, Legislature Friday, July 22nd, 2011The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been quizzing the topshots of two first generation banks since Tuesday over the banks’ involvement in the alleged N10 billion scam for which the immediate past Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Dimeji Bankole, is currently standing trial.
It was confirmed in Abuja last night that the MD of one of the banks and some of his top management staff were guests of the anti-graft commission on Tuesday and Wednesday while the CEO of the other bank, who assumed full control of the bank not too long ago, and his own team took their own turn yesterday.
Although details of what transpired at the meeting between the commission and the bank chiefs remained largely sketchy last night, Daily Sun learnt that EFCC operatives were interested in finding out details of their respective bank’s involvement in the N10 billion loan.
The two banks had featured prominently during the commission’s interrogation of Bankole, with one of them said to have advanced N6 billion loan to the House under Bankole’s leadership.
The House of Representatives is said to have maintained accounts in about six banks, unlike the Senate which is said to operate with only one bank.
