Director General, Securities and Exchange Commission, Ms Aruma Oteh
Operatives
of the Special Fraud Unit Ikoyi have arrested a one-time property
manager with the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Mr. Uche Ehiemere.
Prior to his arrest, Ehiemere collected
rents from NSE’s tenants at its building in Lagos with the mandate to
retain five per cent of the proceeds as service charge and remit the
balance to NSE’s account.
The bubble burst for Ehiemere after about
13 years of service, when it was discovered during account
reconciliation that he had fraudulently converted N190m.
Ehiemere was also said to have allegedly stolen diesel and generator batteries.
Commissioner of Police, SFU, Mr. Tunde
Ogunsakin, said investigation also showed the suspect also collected
N10.6m and N5.2m from Central Securities and clearing System and First
Bank Plc respectively.
“Both organisations are tenants of the
NSE. Ehimemere will be prosecuted at the conclusion of our
investigation,” Ogunsakin said.
