What a man can do, like they say, women can do better. And one woman who tried to live out this dictum in the wrong way has been arraigned on a 15-count of conspiracy and fraud before the Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia State.

Marilyn-Joan Obiora, a staff of Diamond Bank Plc, was dragged to court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), followed a petition by Mr. Stephen Inegbu, the zonal security supervisor of Diamond Bank Plc in Port Harcourt, over sharp practices by the suspect and others at large.

Marilyn-Joan's fraud was detected during a routine examination of customers’ accounts in the bank. According to Mr. Inegbu, the Bank’s inspection unit unravelled three cases of fraud involving the following amounts: N26 million; N91.6 million; and N8 million.

The EFCC said upon further investigation, it was discovered that Marilyn-Joan masterminded the fraudulent withdrawals which amounted to a total of N125.6 million, with help from four other officials of the Bank, now at large.

Although Marilyn-Joan pleaded not guilty to the charges, Justice Umar remanded her in custody and adjourned the case to July 19th, 2012, for commencement of trial.

This case raises a lot of issues for the Bank, customers and
the general public.
The bank, Diamond Bank, Plc has a lot of damage control to do.
People will not trust that bank as a place where their money will
be safe. Diamond Bank must examine it's security systems and
control. The bank has to reassure the public and customers that
their money is safe.

If I was a customer, the first thing I will do is to remove my
money from that bank. People put their money in the bank
because they think it would be safe. If a staff is able to steal
N125 million, that does not give customer confidence that their
money is safe with that bank.

Ms. Marilyn-Joan Obiora must face the the consequence and a
very stiff penalty for breaking the trust the bank placed on her.
She needs to go to prison for a very long time and to refund the
 stolen money. Reason is that a severe sentence may discourage
others fron doing the same thing.
