EFCC Declares 20 Ogun Teachers Innocent Over N200m Loan Scam Perpetrated In Their Names


EFCC has cleared the first batch of 120 public secondary school teachers in Ogun State, who were arrested by the anti-graft agency over a N200m loan scam under investigation.



The loan scam was allegedly perpetrated in one of the old generation banks (name withheld).


The affected secondary school teachers, mostly from Abeokuta South Local Government Area, had denied ever having obtained any loan from the bank.

The teachers invited were 120 and they were divided into six batches.

The first batch was made up of 20 teachers who were guests of the anti-graft agency on Monday, at its headquarters in Lagos, where they were quizzed.

One of the sources, privy to the session said that there was a discovery that none of the 20 teachers at any point in time obtained the said loan from the bank.

The source said the passport photographs provided by the bank did not tally with the faces of the teachers and all the addresses provided did not correspond with the teachers’.

It was also discovered that nearly all of the 20 teachers had no account with the bank and that the state Teaching Service Commission had no hand in the matter.

The source said, “The first batch of the 120 secondary school teachers alleged to have obtained a N200m loan from the bank have been vindicated. Their names were dropped randomly by the bank officials. The passport photographs on the forms filled in obtaining the loan did not tally with their faces and also the addresses provided were totally different.

“It was also discovered that nearly all the teachers did not operate any form of accounts with the bank. The appearance of the remaining 100 teachers is just a formality and it was also clear that TESCOM knew nothing about it and it equally did not have any account with First Bank.

“The teachers were treated well by the EFCC. There was no intimidation or harassment. The first set came back rejoicing. The anti-graft agency is now beaming its searchlight on some officials of the bank.”

It will be recalled that One hundred and twenty teachers in public secondary schools in Ogun State were invited on Monday by the EFCC to answer questions on a loan of N200m allegedly collected in their names from one of the old generation banks (name withheld) since 2011 and yet to be repaid.

 “The story of the N200m loan was still a mystery to many of us. We do not have any account with the bank," another source said.

  3. Hian!
    What will someone not hear again?
    So it's teachers they want to implicate in their fraud now? Teachers who probably don't earn up to 30k monthly are the ones supposedly collecting millions in loans?
    Is it their destiny they used as collateral?
    Mtchewwww

  6. FROM MY INBOX

    The bank is firstbank and the actual amount is 700million naira.


    Some group of individuals under ogun state school board said they want to do a free laptop for 1000 teachers,so they can give them the money as loan.

    First bank disbursed the money and that was it,the perpetrators got the money n fled. Efcc is handling the case ,a lot of firstbank staff were sacked last 3weeks on this.

    This is a top secret of the bank pls.

    1. I don't seem to understand. If the group is from the school board, didn't they get an approval from the education board or from a higher person in authority before the bank approved such a loan to the state govt? Even if they are a bunch of govt parastatal, a key govt personnel would have been involved. Anyway it looks like the scam came from the bank itself
