An ex-employer of Rokel Commercial Bank, Lionel Teckham is now the subject of police investigation after his former employees dragged him to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for alleged interferring with a customer’s account. The amount involved is in the region of Le20, 000, 000 (twenty million Leones).
Currently on bail from the CID, sources within that department affirmed to Awoko that he would soon be dragged to court on allegations of fraudulent conversion by employee, as well as larcency by employee.
Ironically, Lionel Teckham had since May 2010, been terminated by Rokel Commercial Bank for other alleged wrongdoings and it was only last year that the bank was able to discover the alleged tampering with a customer’s account.
The source within CID disclosed that a forged ID card of the customer was allegedly used by the suspect to send people to siphon the account. He is expected to appear in court soonest.
