The Central Bank of Nigeria has revealed that it has uncovered “a highly sophisticated plot to defraud the bank” by some people.

The bank revealed further that though preliminary investigations have not singled out anyone in particular within the bank, some personnel officials of the bank have already been suspended.

According to a statement signed by Acting Director, Corporate Communications, CBN, Isaac Okoroafor, the suspension of the officials was to allow for proper investigations by the relevant authorities.

“A highly sophisticated plot to defraud the CBN by some criminally minded elements has been uncovered and aborted by the bank,” Okoroafor said in the statement.

“Although preliminary investigations so far have not revealed any accomplices within the CBN, the management has decided to place all key personnel involved in the transaction on suspension.

“This is to ensure a full and unfettered investigation. This incidence has been reported to the relevant authorities.”

While not specifying the exact nature of the fraud in the statement, CBN assured stakeholders in the banking sector that the security within the apex bank remains intact and had not been penetrated.
