The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned a former Access Bank employee, Chinonso Akujobi, for allegedly diverting N294.5 million from customers’ accounts in Lagos.
Akujobi was brought before Justice I.O. Ijelu of the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, on Thursday, where he faced a five‑count charge of stealing filed by the EFCC Lagos Zonal Directorate 2.
According to investigators, the ex‑banker allegedly siphoned N294,595,992 while working at Access Bank, moving the funds into accounts linked to Chinonso A., Uchechi A., and Florence A.
One of the charges stated that between January and December 2025, Akujobi “with dishonest intent, and while under the employment of Access Bank Plc, stole and converted for your own use, by unauthorized payments from the general ledger of the bank to your Access Bank account, the sum of N109,325,566.86.”
Akujobi pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Following the plea, EFCC counsel S.M. Yabo requested that the court set a trial date and remand the defendant pending trial. Justice Ijelu adjourned the matter to October 8, 2026, for hearing of the bail application and commencement of trial, ordering that the defendant be remanded at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre.
