The prosecutor, Insp. Jimoh Joseph told the court that the accused conspired with some others still at large to commit the offences between Aug. 1, 2013, and June 2016 at the bank branch in Lagos.
Insp. Jimoh said, Lukman, who was the head of Human Resources, Compensation and Benefit, added some imaginary names and account numbers into the bank’s system to defraud it.

She said one of the sureties must be a level-16 civilservant and both sureties must show evidence of tax payment.
