In continuation of its clampdown at elements frustrating efforts in making the redesigned Naira notes available to members of the public, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), has arrested an official of one of the commercial banks for alleged sabotage.

The bank official, who is the Branch Service Head of Stanbic IBTC Bank, Deidei Branch, Abuja, was taken into custody for her deliberate refusal to upload cash into the branch’s Automated Teller Machines (ATM) even when the cash was available, and people were queuing at the ATMs.

When the ICPC monitoring team stormed the bank at about 1:30pm to ensure compliance, and demanded explanation as to why all the ATMs were not dispensing cash, it was informed by the branch’s Head of Operations that the bank just got delivery of the cash.

However, facts available to the ICPC operatives indicated that the branch took delivery of the cash around 11:58am and either willfully or maliciously refused to feed the ATMs with the cash.

Against this backdrop, the ICPC team compelled the bank to load the ATMs with the redesigned Naira notes and ensured that they were all dispensing before arresting the culprit.

Investigations are still ongoing, and the Commission will take appropriate actions as soon they are concluded.

In a related development, the ICPC Compliance Team in Oshogbo has busted an FCMB in Osogbo, Osun State where some ATMs were loaded with cash with their wrappers un-removed, thus preventing the cash from being dispensed. The Team therefore directed that the wrappers be removed, and the cash loaded properly.

However, when a follow-up visit was undertaken the following day to ascertain the level of compliance, the Team discovered that one of the ATMs was still loaded with the wrappers un-removed.

The Operation Manager of the Bank was arrested and taken in for questioning.

Similarly, seven Point of Sale (POS) operators as well as a security guard were arrested during the ongoing exercise in Osun State for charging exorbitant commissions for cash. Investigations however, revealed that they got the money from Filling Stations that collect new notes from fuel buyers, but they then resell the cash to the public at exorbitant rates.

The arrested persons are helping the Commission with information to assist investigations and bust any syndicates involved in the hoarding or sales of the redesigned notes.

What a mess the country has become.

Too many crooks in Nigeria. From the CBN gov to the bank manager or the POS operator.

Hungry man like ffk is talking too

Who do we arrest for petrol scarcity?

Anechi:
Why is it only APC that is so disturbed by this issue

You wouldn't be asking this kind of question if you had common sense. Who are the masses blaming for the naira scarcity? Is it not APC? Isn't it also common sense that, given the hardship the Naira scarcity has brought on Nigerians, it will naturally have impact on voters' decision in the upcoming elections?

gaby:
Emefiele, abeg contact Gloryhomemaker to arrange 2 coolers of rice for this guy make him chop dey see front.

Muchecheche, Chai, lol, una go kill person with laugh for nairaland.com, oya, Gloryhomemaker, carry go jare

Who takes this fool of a man serious

FFK is fighting for his own pocket the love of the tiny masses not in his heart

IMASTEX:
Says a man that is only answerable to the highest bidder. Emefiele just credit him with urgent 2k make him change the song.

Meanwhile, Emefiele didn't do what he's doing now without one person's approval. Yet you ignore that main person and focus on the shadow.

The cowardice and stupidity of these political jobbers beggar belief!

You can imagine... Attacking the messenger (Emefiele) while leaving out the sender (Buhari)!

If all people are even talking this glutton/ bastards self think he has moth to talk? A lunatic FFK with bad reputation

PrinceOfLagos:
FFK is a mad man, what is Tinubu doing with 3 bullion vans inside his house at bourdillon if not for vote buying and manipulation of election results ?

The CBN will shift ground after the February 25th presidential election

Why r u talking like this?
Where did u see 3 bullion vans?

why is it only APC that is complaining about this naira exchange.

for the past 8 years that sane Nigerians have been complaining, they kept mute and were calling others wailers.

They should calm down, just 3 weeks to go. After the presidential election the can flood the place with naira. We dont want people using stolen money to buy votes.

Bala bala bula ba needs to leave his bullion vans out of this election.

Why Emefiele is still walking free in this country is what I don't understand,

This guy should be arrest and it's very urgent, and send to DSS underground cell and the key thrown away,

And see everything back to normal

My own question is why now, during election period?.. I hope this scarcity won't make our naira lose value.
How I wish Yorubas protected Madam Adeosun when hyenas launched all sorts of attack against her. Now the CBN governor is their brother, they have all gone dumb.

Ojokeda:
God bless Nigeria
God bless Yoruba land
God bless Igbo land
God bless Arewa land

Thunder scatter Tinubu and his urchins!

Make the thunder reach that APC urchin wey dey above you and fire im blokos wella.

Did Tinubu actually collected 800billion new naira note?

Good question. The bullionaire of bourdillon isn't happy. No bullion van will deliver cash this time for certain

CBN governor hasn't done anything wrong... Y'all should free that man!

His principal gave him full approval and backing!

Why do you people just like leaving the main disease and attacking the symptoms.

Skyfornia:
Politicians said the masses are the ones suffering yet politicians are the ones wailing! Pretending as if they care for the masses.. world people!

Are people suffering or not?? Are people complaining or not.. let your conscience judge you

With all the big big grammar, FFK don show us as him sense be like small pikin own.

Emefiele is accountable to the president. Naira redesign was discussed with the President and he approved it. Not only did the President approve it, he supported ever move in that regard. The CBN has a board with Emefiele as the governor. How does one man, under the cover of the CBN make such a move?

Rather than face their issues and the President, FFK went diversionary by attacking Emefiele, the wrong person.

FFK, Shay Shay Shay Shay Shay shammeeee!

Lol this sounds Funny.

Anechi:

Because Atiku seems to be the major beneficiary.
