The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Lagos has rearrested Nnamdi
Okonkwo, the Managing Director of Fidelity Bank PLC, over the discovery of $153
million in new funds also laundered through the bank by former Nigerian oil
minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Also
under arrest is one of the bank’s Heads of Operations.
SaharaReporters
learnt that the two top management officials were arrested and detained at the
Lagos offices of the EFCC after fresh revelations emerged that the former oil
minister laundered the money through the bank for purposes of rigging the 2015
elections in favor of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Mr.
Okonkwo had previously not disclosed the transactions to investigators at the
EFCC, and the discovery prompted another security sweep of the bank
