The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
EFCC, has been drawn to myriads of petitions by concerned Nigerians, following
the arrest of the Managing Director of “Lets Partner With You Ltd.”, Chief Patrick Shanchi Nwokike, an
alleged wonder Bank operator, who is currently in our custody alongside his
wife who is also a signatory to the company’s various bank accounts.
Since the news of the Nwokikes’ arrest broke, the Commission
has received hundreds of petitions from victims, with details of how they were
fleeced of billions of their hard earned money by Nwokike and his cohorts. This
situation is both pathetic and unfortunate.
Most of the victims expressed confidence in the EFCC’s
ability to recover their invested capital and also ensure that justice is
served.
However, the EFCC alone cannot achieve the goal of recovering
depositors’ funds from the Nwokikes, without the cooperation of members of the
public in terms information sharing with the Commission, aimed at revealing
where the several billions of naira and properties fraudulently acquired by
these scammers are concealed.
The Commission therefore calls on all well meaning Nigerians
to furnish the EFCC with relevant information on Nwokike and his family, the
company, and any other person(s) that might be connected with this infraction.
The EFCC wishes to assure all who would heed this call that
their identities would be treated with utmost confidentiality.
