A prosecution witness, Mrs Joyce Okoli, yesterday explained to an Ikeja High Court how documents that were to be used in strengthening a N27.5 billion fraud charge preferred against the former Managing Director of Bank PHB (now Keystone Bank), Francis Atuche, in a matter, were found at the bank’s Central Shared Services (CSS) Centre.
In a fresh forgery charge brought against Atuche and two officials of the bank’s CSS Centre (Joachim Nnosiri and Uguru Onyike), the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) alleged that the defendants had, on March 4, 2013 in Lagos, attempted to smuggle forged board resolutions of some companies into Keystone Bank.
EFCC alleged that the documents were forged by the defendants to weaken its case against Atuche in another criminal matter, adding that the offence contravened sections 361 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.
EFCC said the forged board resolutions emanated from Futureview Securities Limited, Tradjeck Limited and Extra Oil Limited and signed by Mrs. Elizabeth Ebi, the Managing Director of three companies allegedly involved in the N27.5 billion fraud charge preferred against Atuche in another matter.
