EFCC: More Bank CEOs to Appear in Court for Money Laundering
The Head of Media and Public Affairs, of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, yesterday disclosed that the commission would drag more bank managing directors and chief executives of banks to court over allegations of money laundering.
Speaking as guest in a radio programme monitored in Abuja, the EFCC spokesperson averred that all investigations regarding the CEOs of the banks had been concluded as they will soon appear in court to defend themselves for economic sabotage.
According to him, EFCC recently arrested a top executive of one of the banks for money laundering and the case went to court for prosecution.
He said: “We are still going to take some of them to court because EFCC has concluded investigation with those cases and so it is no longer going to be business as usual with some of the bank MDs who want to aid and abet money laundering in the country.

Those bank MD and CEO are making cool money. When you go to their banks and see their portrait hung on the wall, you see their big cheeks where money makes big. Only God knows how much will be in their accounts.

You have no facts that they aid politicians to launder money. So efcc must have facts before they arrest any of them.

Very good! I’ve been waiting for this day. Bank CEOs are not innocent of money laundering, they should be investigated

Most of the CEOs are actually helping our politicians embezzle money while they indulge in illegal deals with them

These bank CEOs and MDs cannot be trusted at all, EFCC should investigate them properly and prosecute whoever needs to be prosecuted

The CEOs and MDs are thieves because they are the chief maker of corruption and should be investigated before they commit more

Bank managers need to declare their assets before emerging as CEO of banks and have to declare their assets before leaving.
