Internal auditing by an oil company has revealed how its operations manager embezzled money into millions.
The company, Made Global Entertainment Limited was stunned speechless to discover that its trusted operations manager, Emeka Cyriacus Onyenuforo, has been doctoring the accounts.
On 4th of November 2022, the suspect was charged to Court for offences bordering on fraudulent conversion and stealing of N35million belonging to his employer, Made Global Entertainment Limited.
The matter was investigated by the Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU), Milverton, Ikoyi, Lagos State.
The Public Relations Officer of the Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU), a Superintendent of Police (SP), Eyitayo Johnson, said: “The suspect, being the Operations Manager of the Oil & Gas Company, in charge of Distribution and Sale diverted thousands of litres of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) worth the alleged sum to collaborators who sold same and re-routed the proceeds back to him-after deducting their commission-via personal Bank Accounts and that of family and friends.
