ICPC indicts financial institutions over opening accounts for criminals

The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission (ICPC) yesterday insisted that some financial institutions were engaging in unethical conducts by opening accounts for ‘criminals.’

Its chairman, Professor Bolaji Owasanoye, said the banks also employ innuendos that lure criminal customers.

Owasanoye spoke while receiving the management of the Bank of Industry (BOI) at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.

In a statement by the spokesperson of the commission, Rasheedat Okoduwa, he expressed concerns at “the complicity of a few of Nigeria’s financial services industry companies in the ruination of the country.”

Leader of the team and BOI Managing Director, Olukayode Pitan, said they visited to intimate the commission of their activities and operations.
