AGF Takes Over N16.6bn Fraud Case Involving Polaris Bank And Employee
The Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, has taken over the N16.5 billion fraud case against Polaris Bank and its staff member, Chinenye Duru.
Originally filed by the Inspector General of Police in December 2023, the case alleges that over nearly eight years, Duru and the bank diverted N16.5 billion from the accounts of Onukogu Victor Hezekiah, the spiritual head of the Living Christ Mission Church. The AGF’s office, exercising its constitutional powers, has requested the original case file from the police.
The trial judge, Inyang Ekwo, has scheduled the trial for 18 and 19 November. Mr. Duru, who has pleaded not guilty, remains in custody pending his bail hearing. The charges against the defendants include multiple counts of unauthorized withdrawals from Mr. Hezekiah’s accounts, punishable under the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition Act, 2022).
