39 year old caught owning 25 different account in same bank.

 A 39-year-old trader, Okonkwo Nwachukwu,
has been arrested by the Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi, after
he was discovered to have opened 25 savings accounts
with Zenith Bank, under different identities. The SFU spokesperson, DSP Ngozi Isintume-Agu, said
the SFU Commissioner of Police had received a petition
from the bank on February 12, 2014. Okonkwo Nwachukwu | Photo: Punch “The petition alleged that Nwachukwu had appeared at
the Amuwo Odofin branch of Zenith Bank to open
a savings account and presented an already completed
savings account opening package with the name,
Obiozor Ifeanyi, and identified himself as such with a
National Identity Card. “While the Customer Service office was checking the
documents, Nwachukwu allegedly went to the
Marketing Unit and collected another savings account
opening package and completed same with another
name, Ogueji Nnamdi. He allegedly returned to
the Customer Service Desk and presented same for account opening with another National Identity Card
bearing Ogueji Nnamdi.” The Customer Service Officer reportedly became
suspicious with the unsuspecting Nwachukwu’s
attempt to open another savings account within
minutes with another identity. He then searched the
bank’s system with Nwachukwu’s phone number and it
was discovered that he already possessed about 25 savings accounts at various branches under different
names. The statement added, “It was further alleged that
Nwachukwu also operated a corporate account with
number 1012000129, belonging to Chukon Integrated
Limited, and he also identified himself as Okonkwo
Nwachukwu when he opened the said account. “A native of Okija Ihiala LGA of Anambra State,
Nwachukwu is into cargo business and owns an office
at Block 4, Shop 169 A.P.T. Market Trade Fair, Lagos.” Nwachukwu reportedly explained that the multiple
accounts he opened was to enable him run his business
successfully. He said he had N50,000 each in 15
different accounts, while the remaining ones had
N20,000, N10,000 and N5,000 respectively. He allegedly blamed the cashless policy of the CBN for
his actions, saying that he was not permitted to
withdraw a huge sum of money in one account and as
such, he was advised to open multiple accounts to
spread his money. The police said the action was meant to
defraud financial institutions and unsuspecting
members of the public. The suspect alleged that the National Identity Card and
PHCN bills used in opening his multiple accounts were
forged by one Pepper who is at large. He also claimed that he had come back from China on
January 27, 2014 and started the multiple account
opening from February 5, to 7, 2014 when he was
apprehended.
