This trio reportedly collaborated in fabricating documents, purportedly bearing the signature of the former Nigerian leader, as part of a scheme to embezzle funds from the CBN.

Specialized investigators tasked with probing this extensive fraud case within the CBN have escalated the matter by formally requesting the placement of the three Nigerian individuals on the Interpol Red Notice. DCP Eloho Okpoziakpo, Head of Operations at the Office of the Special Investigator, signed the letter addressed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), seeking assistance in apprehending the suspects.

The letter outlines the involvement of Odoh Eric Ocheme, a CBN employee who is currently evading authorities, along with his accomplices Adamu Abubakar and Imam Abubakar, both of whom are also on the run. These individuals are suspected of utilizing forged documents to misappropriate a substantial sum of $6,230,000 from the coffers of the CBN.

Legal proceedings have been initiated against the accused, with a six-count charge filed against them at the Federal High Court in Abuja. One of the charges alleges that they falsely presented themselves as agents authorized by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to procure funds from the CBN for foreign election observers, thereby defrauding the institution.

The gravity of the alleged offenses underscores the importance of swift and decisive action in bringing the perpetrators to justice. As the investigation progresses, authorities are committed to pursuing all avenues to ensure accountability and prevent further financial malfeasance in the country.
