We reported to the authorities when Diezani wired $115million to us - Fidelity bank



Fidelity Bank has stated that the $115million wired to the bank by former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke was duly reported to the authorities.

The bank’s statement comes after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested Fidelity Bank managing director, Nnamdi Okonkwo for receiving $115m from Diezani and forwarding same to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials across the country before the 2015 general elections.



“Our attention has been drawn to reports in the media on investigations into transactions undertaken by the bank in the normal course of business in 2015.”

“The transactions are now the subject matter of investigations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The bank said the transaction was duly reported to the authorities. “We can confirm that the transactions were duly reported as required by the regulators and the bank is cooperating fully with the authorities on the investigation.”

“We assure our numerous stakeholders, including our customers that we are working assiduously towards a quick resolution of the issues,” the bank added.

  1. Then why should the bank be held responsible when the bank had done what is expected of her?.EFCC in her quest to nail Jonathan's supporters would soon exposed their foolishness to the whole world. Go for the looters and the regulatory authorities and not on the innocent soft link who are not beneficiaries of the loot. Mtchewww

  2. That's EFCC for you. Their own is to read bank statement, reach the most dramatic conclusion and jump to arrest with instant release of spurious, unverified claims to the press as facts.

    "Ah.. another line. Chai, see big money transfer. Oya arrest and detain that thief (recipient), he needs to prove that he did not steal this money".

    Investigation is not by media, not by anyhow detention, not by intimidation or massive bail. Find the facts, make the connections, do the research, build a solid case.... DO THE WORK, LAZY BUMS !! Not this monkey sh*t that is going nowhere.

  3. Statement by Fidelity bank above is a normal comment any bank can make at this moment for the sake of its stake holders. Learn to be civil with both parties until the court of law decides.
    You are so pained with the corruption war that everything upsets you. I can feel your pause, no more business as usual. LOL
