THE police are on the trail of a Nollywood actor (name withheld),
alleged to have masterminded a N20 million fraud in a freight forwarding
company
Vanguard gathered that the Nollywood star allegedly
perpetrated the act over several months because of his strategic
position in the company which gave him access to vital documents and
account details of many clients.
The Nollywood star was said to be the account officer of a particular
‘big client’ of the firm, a position which made him to be privy to
outflow and inflow in that particular account.
From this position, the actor allegedly received cheques of various
sums, which he allegedly diverted to private interests through a
microfinance bank with allegedly connivance of officials of a commercial
bank in Lagos.
Police sources, however, told Vanguard that the bubble burst when the company embarked on a comprehensive audit of its 2012 books.
Our source at the Apapa Area Command of the Police who pleaded
anonymity disclosed that the matter is still under investigation, but he
confirmed that, when the Police went after the said staff of the
company at Aboru in Ipaja, a Lagos suburb, but the actor was said to
have moved out.
He was however traced to the new hiding place where Police reportedly
met the family members who also claimed not to know his whereabout.
