-EFCC returns 11.9 million naira stolen by church deacon.
-The suspect diverted the amount from the church funds to his personal account.
-He was an account officer with access bank in charge of the accounts before he was sacked by the bank upon discovering the fraudulent activities.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has returned the stolen sum of N11.9m to a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Rivers State after concluding investigations on the matter.
The said amount was said to have been recovered from a deacon of the RCCG, Cyril Idakwoji who is also an account officer attached to the church’s account by the bank.
The amount was handed over in two cheques by the South-South Zonal Head of the EFCC, Mr. Ishaq Salihu, who further explained that Idakwoji, a former employee of Access Bank, diverted the church funds to private use instead of transferring them to the church’s bank account.
The stolen funds were paid back by the bank, which had sacked the suspect.Handing over the cheques to the pastor-in-charge of Province 4 of the RCCG, Salihu said, “He (suspect) forged the letterheads of the church and the signature of the pastor in charge of the region. He also forged the signature of the church’s accountant to execute his criminal schemes in the RCCG.”
Province 4 Pastor of the RCCG, Port Harcourt, Mr. Mark Barango, who received the cheque from the anti graft agency, commended the operatives for ensuring the funds were recovered.
“He (suspect) was the account officer assigned by the bank to us. He was also a member of the church. EFCC is an agent of transformation. I thank the EFCC for helping us to recover the money.”
In a related development, Salihu disclosed that the EFCC had earlier recovered N36m belonging to a private school- Jephthah International School, which was also stolen by Idakwoji and paid it back to the school.
According to the EFCC zonal head, Idakwoji was also the bank’s account officer to the school.

Actor/businessman, Jim Iyke whose acting career in the Nigerian movie industry took off in 2001, in an interview with Pulse Nigeria talked about a role he would love to play, and why he doesn’t want to be labeled ‘a Nollywood actor.’
“I have never played a gay role and I have no desire of playing anything like that. I have had a long career, a lot of movies, I have pretty much stretched everything that there is.“But is there a role out there [that I haven’t played]? I can’t think of any off the top of my head.”He, however, revealed the real-life character he would love to interpret on screen.“It’s a man with the depth of Denzel [Washington.] Denzel is not just an actor, that’s how I don’t want to be perceived as well.“That’s why I’m always going off and on to go educate myself some more, elevate my mind some more, invest in things that are outside the confines, fail in many more things and succeed as well as I go.”He further stated that he doesn’t want to be tagged ‘a Nollywood actor,” sharing his reasons.“I don’t want anyone to label me a Nollywood actor. I want to be a business man, I want to be a philanthropist, I want to help people in my lifetime, leave my signature in the stamps of time.I want people to wake up and say ‘hey, if you didn’t do this, this wouldn’t haven’t happened. And I want to say the same of people.”
