The Benin Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested a staff of First Bank of Nigeria Plc for allegedly stealing N18.900 million.
According to the EFCC, the staff, identified as Philips Orumade, was reported by the Management of the Bank, after he was caught on CCTV.

The EFCC said: “The suspect has been on the run and was recently apprehended in Lagos.
“He has made useful statements and will soon be charged to court as soon as investigations are completed.”
