The Central Bank moreover, disclosed that dockets have been prepared on 13 Specialised Deposit and Taking Institutions and forwarded by EOCO to the Attorney General for advice and prosecution.

BoG noted that with BoG’s clearance, the Receiver collaborated with EOCO to investigate certain transactions relating to the 347 Microfinance Companies and 23 Savings and Loans and Finance House Companies in 2019.

“We gave clearance to the Joint Receivers of the 347 Microfinance Companies and the 23 Savings and Loans and Finance House Companies to refer some matters to EOCO for criminal investigations.

“The key issues submitted to EOCO are as follows: Hidden assets and or assets in books not found by the Receiver, related party transactions and untraceable investments.”
