The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has declared one Jerry Ogbonna Obike Phillip wanted for withdrawing a certain amount of money posted to his bank account in error.
The information which was released on the EFCC official Facebook page reads thus:
“The public is hereby notified that Jerry Ogbonna Obike Phillip whose photograph appears below, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in a case of stealing.“Phillip withdrew the sum of
N45,000,000.00 (Forty Five million naira) which was mistakenly credited into his
account in a new generation bank,” the statement read.
However, it was learnt that, before the money could be reversed to its rightful
owner, Phillip had allegedly withdrawn the said amount.

LMAO!.....Phillip Phillip!
Times are hard and I guess he saw this as a miracle..
Phillip did what most Nigerians without a daily bread would do.
I dont even know what i would do if 100m was mistakenly paid into my account..LOL
I won't take the money knowing that they will come after me , now look at the disgrace and if they get him he will be in prison for a long time
ReplyDeleteSharp man! Abeg cut my share.
DeleteGod works in mysterious ways....lol, it so happened that he had a huge problem that 45m cld solve, and being that his sick mum has been praying for a miracle, they saw it as one, and str8, 1st flight to India, lol... Lemme make a story for them.
DeleteDe money enter one chance... For those judging him pls note dat U can't really tell wat u would do except u find urself in this kind of situation.
Deletewhich kind disgrace??? abegi!
DeleteThe man did no wrong! The man didn't steal... money wey dy ur account na thief? Central bank shd be more careful abeg! I feel that money is a fradulent money they intentionally paid it into the innocent man's account but it later backfired when the man withdrew the money jare
DeleteI don't blame him jare!
DeleteHe did what most Nigerians will naturally do and baba go slow is not helping matters.
Things are hard, our economy is not smiling.
Me i will take d bank to court for fall hope abi representation cos i will claim i had hrt attack.
DeleteI will sha find a way to prove that its their negligence that made them pay money into my acct
What a greedy man, he didn't even take small.
DeleteWhere are all those biafran mofos, cos if it was anoda tribe now, they would have started running their mouths!
I know him personally
DeleteThis is not a case of mistake
This country is a bad place
I trust Jerry.
He would sue their asses
Talk about Falcon Avaition School.
BeBe
When he saw that alert he must have started singing Godwin ahhaaa nothing could take d money from him
DeleteThis man no just try at all.That's very bad of him.
ReplyDeleteLook at u, u dnt have common sense..
DeleteCommon sense not common at all. lol
DeleteThis man was no criminal.
DeleteHe was on his on jeje and they did error and posted 45m in his account.
Lmao....do I blame him? No. But I do pity him shaa because now he is a fugitive on the run
Anyone hailing this man does not realize that d most important thing abt money is not how big it is but how u get it. I understand poverty don't let people reason rationally. This man will regret his actions in less than a yr or two. He hs family, comes from a community and may be even belongs to a religious organization. The consequences of his actions will be so grave to him that he wud wish he never took dat money.
DeleteAnd another angle to this is that as big as Nigeria is, it wud be so small for him to hide. And if he runs abroad?I laff bc he would be so frustrated there that he wud wish he was home. Mind u, taken account of his age. Let's see how it plays out.
Phillip don get alert... Na Godwin
DeletePhilip, Ole! I would return it if were me. Honesty pays!
ReplyDeleteSharap jare! See wo is calling some one Ole? Swine
DeleteTaaa go sidon see dem holy holy. Na people like u go close the account immediately.
DeleteLOL.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for that moment.
Card always in hand.
I'll make do with a million.
Lol..just last week someone paid in 50k into my account.and while I was so tempted to go withdraw It, I didn't cos I knew if I had, any money that gets into my acc is gone.doesn't make sense to close down an account cos of 50k.30mins later, it was reversed.but I honestly don't know what I would do if it were millions.can't say really.
DeleteGod bless u jare.. truth be told all of u sayin itwas good he took d money its becos u dont work in a bank or u prolly dont have family working there else u wont say ds.. someone s head in dat bank will roll for negligence and truth be told we re all humans
DeleteAnyone can make a mistake and wont realise till its too late. May ur family member not lose deir jobs becos of a slight mistake o.. i work in a fin institution and i know what its like.
Will I Say His A Lucky Man?
ReplyDeleteYes o... he's a lucky man!
DeleteAbeg if any of u know the man don't report him oh, if that kind of money was paid into my account I wouldn't blink. I would withdraw all, return fire. Flex ur cash biko.
ReplyDeleteI have been laughing since, we have lots of comedians here oh u guys almost turn me into a mad woman today reading posh cover comments, una doh oh. Morning great ppl. Missed u all
Obviously this is government money being transferred illegally by either politicians or Top govt officials and bank staffs too and miraculously ended up in the man's account...lmao...
DeleteOn ur side on this jare!
DeleteThe bank should be held responsible for there incompetence, y will they even say he stole it, did he steal d money? Money entered his acct he took it, what if he was expecting that same amount of money too. Mitcheew
DeleteDefinitely fraudulent activity that back fired. That's how they move money between accounts.
DeleteThe bigger issue is this. How was he able to withdraw 45,000,000.00 in cash with cashless Nigeria and max withdrawal of 3m from individual accounts if I remember correctly. This story is fishy and I hope that bank staffers haven't used the poor man's account to perform miracles.
Exactly! How did he withdraw it?!
DeleteSharp guy. But u gonna be on d run 4eva. Is ur peace of mind worth 45mil. If it is, carry go. I don't even know what I would do if I were in his shoes. I mean, dat money will change my life 4eva but would I be able to sleep well at night?.
ReplyDeleteThat's the only disadvantage; besides, he is a family man, so for the sake of his family, he has to return the money.
DeleteTechnically that's not stealing joor. But he should return the money abeg.
ReplyDeleteThe bank he withdrew the money from were vvery careless. Any withdrawal above 100k there way they would ask questions and snap you ehn, maybe they didn't want to offend their big customer.
If not for his photo there, for that amount some people will change their identity and get lost.
Everyday for the thief one day for another lucky thief..........what nonsense are they talking about???that they mistakenly paid bla bla bla ..
DeleteThis is what u get when u keep using customers account to launder money. .it was a good deal went bad..
How can a bank mistakenly pay such a huge some of amount into a wrong account when banks I know verify all account number bf any transaction talk more such a huge some of money....
They should tel us how the man was able to withdraw or transfer or if it was over draft he used how did he remove all 45m from his account without questioning????
When odinary 500k u want to withdraw they would give u 10snaps shot and take your cheque to the bank manager to sign and authorize ...
How did this man take this money without the help from those people inside the bank.
They should free him jor....if they catch this man en he should be flogged openly for being stupid......he should run far.
God has transferred the wealth of the unrighteous to the righteous shikena.
Please they should free the man. God blessed him miraculously. I will even withdraw it and close the account.
ReplyDeletegbam!
DeleteGod has blessed this manand noonecancur
DeleteThat's how owelle rochas's son inlaw(uche nwaosu) cook and driver fled with almost 5 billion naira in dollars,they saw the money in uche's wardrobe, they carried the money in a governmnt official car ooo... the news aint even in circulation sef cos fear no go gree owelle and him in-law to defend themselves, they just died the case.
That awkward moment Mr Philip gets his own share of the National cake, why won't he eat it???? Politicians and Top government officials eat theirs and go and even come back for more...lmao...Temptation of the highest order.
ReplyDeleteme go chop and clean mouth them dey crase
ReplyDelete#GODWIN™
Sharp guy,abeg come sdk come do giveaway o
ReplyDeleteEfcc who are u looking for exactly? Una no well! Someone was on his own jeje he didn't come to u,money was paid into his own account did he force u, if the man na sharp guy he should even sue Efcc and the bank for invading his privacy and using his account without his authorization for fraudulent act!!!
ReplyDeleteThe man should return the money . Somebody made the mistake ,which a lot will face DC for and might end up with caution letter,warning letter or even termination of appointment. He should please return the money.
ReplyDeleteThey should let the man be,he saw it as a miracle,lol.
ReplyDeleteSee how God blessed the man after all they say "God works in mysterious ways" my guy biko flex you God given blessing joor!
ReplyDeleteI am always restless if I make deposit or someone makes deposit into my account & alert did not come immediately , not to talk of a whole day without alert .
ReplyDeleteWe are yet to get d true story : How can a bank make a huge mistake like dz n they did not make any effort to withdraw d money from d said wrong account ? Are they saying dat d person or coy. that is expecting d money did not raise alarm wen alert did not not come .
It was a deal btw EFCC & d Igbo man gone wrong .
Exactly my thought. Am so sure dah moni was in his account for more dan a dae..abeg oga phillip chop d money well well n clean mouth
DeleteEven the ones with very good daily bread will do same. How was he able to withdraw everything without being caught;
ReplyDeleteAfterall miracle comes in different ways.
ReplyDeleteLord visit me with this kind of miracle o. Hehehehe
ReplyDeleteEnd time Phillip
ReplyDeleteEnd time one trillion....
DeleteOne trillion go back to nairaland abeg. That's where they keep posting all this end time shit. Who sent u here?
DeleteSharp man..But he won't run forever, one day he will be caught and punished accordingingly.
ReplyDeleteAbeg they should free the man jor. Nigeria is getting difficult to live in by the day but emm my Philip you dey para o. Lol.
ReplyDeleteNa this type of miracle i need. Mistakenly paid into my account. I will mistakenly withdraw it sharp sharp. When i pay tithe finish, EFCC no go fit do anything.
ReplyDeleteOga if you have not paid tithe better be fast about it. Hunger they land ooo. The man did what anyone could have done.
The man get alert, Godwin.
ReplyDeleteHe run go bank clear account. But the question is, where is he hiding?
Maybe he's in Ghana or Togo.
They must have tried to contact the man all to no avail before they can release these memo.
ReplyDelete#emdossupernova
Technically its not stealing. He should return the money and sue the bank for the same figure. The grounds for filing such claim could range from:
ReplyDelete1. Entrapment 2. Causing and inducing untold psychological hardship 3. Defamation etc the grounds are endless.
All hail Lawyers!!!!
DeleteHow did they mistakenly transfer the money if it was not part of their money laundering scheme? EFCC knows that too.
ReplyDeleteUsually when these banks want to launder money for a big politician, they will transfer it to a dormant account before transferring it out.
Or whenever EFCC is on the tail of a corrupt politician, the politician will connive with a bank staff to transfer the money to someones dormant account until the tail is cold .
This time around, young man disappeared with it. The young man should sue EFCC and the new generation bank for causing him intentional infliction of emotional distress(IIED). By paying that big amount of money, they caused him a lot of pain and drove him into depression reminding that he is a failure in life, he was in a state of mental distress and fear when he withdrew that money.
XOXO MYSTERY
Correct!!!!
DeleteHahhhhaaa correct
DeleteThe lord works in a mysterious way. He didn't steal it abeg. I know some of you will swear and curse him as if your lives are any better. In a month, this story anwuo piiiiiiiiiiiiii!
ReplyDeleteIf a man as old as this can abscond with money money mistakenly paid into his account, then I fear for the youth of this country. What advise will such a man have for his kids?
ReplyDeleteMaami water shut the fuck off ajre! What's ur business? It it ur abscond? Is it ur money?
DeleteLol @mamiwater.. My dear if u wir d person you would ve done same.
DeleteIf you know about the law of banking, the man is under no obligations to report the error to the bank. He should go and get a good lawyer. Them dey craze
ReplyDeleteHmm.. times r hard.
ReplyDeleteSee them thieves saying they won't return the money but will be the first to call Diezani names...
ReplyDeleteHypocrites...
Hahahahahaha...irony of life.
DeleteI think we are all trying to make fun out of this situation.
My dear I was shocked to see some comments here, anyway I have always known many people are thieves in Naija, even those we trust around us, I hardly trust people
DeleteThank u! The man is a family man and can't run forever. He will be caught soonest,maybe thru a family member.
Delete45m 2 some1 acct mistakenly and Nigerian are roasting of hunger. God will surely punish all does Pple eating our sweat and labour unlawfully
ReplyDeleteSomeone has lost his or her job for this.
DeleteThe staff might have dependants,a sick child,old parents,rent to pay.
Getting a corporate job without reference will not be possible ever again.
From this post alone and comments,you see GEJ is not the "holder" of your destinies? The filth,the rot is everywhere! Even your Driver will want to steal you blind,but behind your back,he is telling the whole world that his boss is wicked.
Diezani must die!
Diezani stole "our" money!
If you are a salary earner of 40k a month and decide to abscond with 40million sent to you erroneously,you are worse than her.
The Change starts from you and I.
Omo see blessing ooo...
ReplyDeleteHmmmm dats a miracle for me. Amma run to d oda side of d world and live happily ever after

ReplyDelete#NewsAlert to New generation banks.....Plz make same mistake with my account......believe me,in 7days u will see it with interest.
ReplyDeleteChristmas come early!
ReplyDeleteSuch happened to my brother some years ago,16m was paid into his dormant account.he wanted to withdraw the money but was scared,a week later the money was removed by the owner.
ReplyDeleteI think it wasn't a mistake.
The money is much!
ReplyDeleteThe guy man should disappear for one year and within the period, put the money in profitable ventures and re-appear to pay back N45m. Miraculous way of raising initial capital without interest and yeye collateral.
ReplyDeleteVery good point, but in the meantime what happens? Those that would pay with their blood nko? Last Last bad will always be bad.
DeleteOmo c money..... hehehehehe.... I no blame the man ojere....
ReplyDeleteI already warned my bank. Any money mistakenly paid into my account is gone forever.
ReplyDeleteToo bad. Integrity is hard these days
ReplyDeleteWowwwwwwwwww see how wicked human beings are. All of you shouting God while wanting to steal; stealing because the money doesn't belong to you. I am so disappointed. What a shame. Someone has lost their job for this mistake either that or they will be forced to work without salary till the money is repaid. God is not a thief, don't call him in your stealing
ReplyDeleteIncomplete story. It's impossible to withdraw 45m in cash....
ReplyDeleteI know this man very well. He once lived in no 10 glover street, ikoyi. He was my former boss. An ex navy captain. Once tried floating falcon airways but he was too fraudulent. A very intelligent man. A one time gubernatorial candidate of imo state. He was in owerri last week. His family lives abroad. Contact me and il hand him over to you.

ReplyDeleteHmmm madam/ padam handover small small o cos I no know wetin concern u for the matter Abi u wan chop ur own too.
DeleteThis isnt stealing on the part of the guy. This is a deal gone bad. EFCC should arrest the HOP, FT and teller. The money was wrongly posted either by the teller or FT and approved by the HOP, each back office staff has rights. The bulk is on the HOP's desk. That money will be from the accountant of a politician to this guy and was suppose to be shared but guyman took off with all the money, now they are crying wolf. HOP, FUNDS TRANSFER, TELLER plus GROUP HEAD BANKING OPERATIONS should be arrested. Oga if you have spent the money, its not a crime, tell EFFC you did a business and was expecting funds, so you thought this was it, give them a repayment plan. To OWE in Nigeria is not a crime. Then sue the bank for tampering with and intention to commit fraud... pay me consultation fee, i will tell you how to go about it. This country God will have mercy, its messed up.
