The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has secured the conviction of a former bank cashier, Ebenezer Adeolu Alonge, alongside his wife, Isakunle Olamide Oyinlola, and his mother-in-law, Isakunle Eunice Moradeke for stealing depositors’ funds.The trio were on Friday convicted and sentenced to 60 years imprisonment by Justice Adekanye Ogunmoye of Ekiti State High Court, Ado Ekiti on a 12-count charge of conspiracy and stealing brought against them by the Ibadan Zonal office of the EFCC.
The EFCC, in a statement by its Head, Media and Publicity, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, said the journey to the dock started when the illicit activities of Ebenezer got exposed through a petition to the anti-graft agency from one of the new generation banks alleging that one of her staff by name Ebenezer Adeolu Alonge was involved in fraudulent activities.It was alleged that sometime in February 2018 the bank received a complaint concerning the financial impropriety of the sum of N62, 400.
In the course of the investigation, the said transaction was allegedly traced to Ebenezer Alonge’s wife’s account. Further investigation, however, revealed that there was a turnover of over ₦21 million as a deposit from other customers in his wife’s account.Also, it was alleged that other sums were traced to his mother-in-law’s account, who was also a beneficiary of the fraudulent act.
