According to Tech Cabal’s report, the Head of Operations, other superior officers of the perpetrator and over 100 more employees were sacked by The First Bank for their laxity.
Those employees were accused of laxity in carrying out their duties and were told they should have spotted the fraud earlier. First Bank’s management team believed it was impossible for a fraud of that scale and timeline to have been executed without the knowledge of Adeyinka’s superiors, the report read.
Meanwhile, Mrs Oloworanran’s appointment violates provisions of the Pension Reform Act regarding appointing a Director General.
