The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly traced more than $88 million to a hidden account managed by the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Sterling Bank of Nigeria, Yemi Adeola.

The said money was transferred to Mr. Adeola from Fidelity Bank of Nigeria, whose managing director, Nnamdi Okonkwo, was last week detained by the EFCC.

Mr. Okonkwo has been granted bail.

SaharaReporters reports that the $88 million found at Sterling Bank was separate from the $115m given to Fidelity Bank by the ex-oil minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
