The convict was arraigned by the Lagos Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a five-count charge, bordering on official corruption and gratification.

A banker, Ugenyi Kalu, has been convicted by Justice R.A. Oshodi of a Special Offences Court, sitting in Ikeja, Lagos for fraud.

The convict was arraigned by the Lagos Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a five-count charge, bordering on official corruption and gratification.

In a statement released today, February 18, the EFCC said one of the counts reads.

“That you, Ugenyi Kalu sometime in November 2016 in Lagos within the Lagos Judicial Division being the head of the Lagos Region of NEXIM Bank, received a monetary benefit for yourself in the sum of N4,000,000 (Four Million Naira) from one Obi Ogoh in account of the loan availed to his company Sevirg AgroAllied Mills Ltd by NEXIM Bank. Thereby committed an offence bordering on official corruption contrary to Section 8(1)(a) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000 and punishable under Section 8(1)(b)ii of the same Law.”

He pleaded “not guilty” to all the charges, prompting his trial. In the course of the trial, prosecution counsel, G.C. Ofulue called six witnesses who testified to his crime, two of whom were his co-workers in Nexim Bank.

Delivering judgement on February 12, 2025, Justice Oshodi held that the prosecution proved its case beyond every reasonable doubt, and found him guilty as charged. He was convicted on four of the charges and sentenced to four years and two months imprisonment or to pay N20,850,000 (Twenty Million, Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Naira) fine.
