EFCC arrests bank staff who forged EFCC letter in an attempt to recover loan

Joshua Emeje, who works in the Loan Recovery Unit of Access Bank in Jos, Plateau State, allegedly wrote a letter on November 21, 2015 to one Patrick Dasur, Education Secretary, Jos North LGA Education Authority, inviting him to the EFCC head office in Abuja for questioning.

The said letter which was porputedly signed by one Bala Mohammed on behalf of the Executive Chairman of the EFCC, contained a phone number that Dasur was to call on his arrival in Abuja. But rather than call the number, Dasur headed straight to the EFCC head office.

There, it was discovered that the letter was forged and Emeje was arrested. In his confessional statement, Emeje claimed Dasur was a debtor to his bank and he decided to pose as an employee of EFCC to recover the loan because he works in the Loan Recovery Unit of the bank.
