Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Enugu State Command have arraigned one Judith Nneka Nwagwu, a staff of the United Bank for Africa (UBA), before Justice D.A Onyefulu of the Anambra State High Court in Onitsha on a  seven count charge bordering on forgery and obtaining by false pretence to the tune of N452,047,000.

Judith is alleged to have fraudulently obtained N192,000,000 from a complainant whom she was his account officer, on the pretext that the bank had $400,000 for sale at the rate of N480 per Dollar. Her employers also petitioned the EFCC alleging that the defendant forged two fixed deposit certificates and fraudulently obtained the total sum of N260,047.000 from a customer under the guise of fixing the money for him.
