The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is accounted for to have kept the MD of Zenith Bank, Peter Amangbo over a progression of exchanges his bank professedly did in the interest of Rivers State. EFCC is asserting that the exchanges, at any rate N117 billion in esteem, are suspicious in nature yet that Zenith neglected to report them as requested by law. As indicated by reports, Amangbo was held to clarify why his bank neglected to record the withdrawals, purportedly done over a three-year time span, as suspicious.
Amangbo was first welcomed for addressing on August 23, yet he was liberated on managerial safeguard and approached to return on August 24 for promote cross examination. He respected the plan, turning himself in again at the EFCC home office in Abuja, he was anyway not permitted to return home on Friday.
Representative Nyesom Wike of Rivers hammered the examination as "political witch-chase" saying he would keep on preventing state authorities from showing up before the EFCC for addressing.
"No administration authority will show up before the EFCC," Mr Wike was cited as saying in an announcement his representative Simeon Nwakaudu sent to PREMIUM TIMES Sunday night. The representative said an Appeal Court judgment in 2007 denied the EFCC from prying into Rivers State coffers, a decision he asserted had not been advanced. They petitioned for leave to claim the judgment at the Court of Appeal. Until the point that they put aside the judgment, we won't come" Wike stated, including that a crisp claim would be documented to stop the EFCC examination of Rivers accounts.
