First Bank Manager Arraigned in Lagos High Court Over Alleged FX Document Forgery

Police from the SCID Panti-Yaba arraigned Nnedimma Arah, a senior manager at First Bank’s Dosunmu branch, on a one-count forgery charge. She pleaded not guilty to allegedly forging a letter of undertaking dated August 2022 to cover foreign exchange differentials. The amended charge names only Arah after the court struck out a co-defendant’s name. Justice Osiagor granted her bail of ₦5 million with one surety following her defence counsel’s application. First Bank had petitioned the Attorney-General, arguing the dispute stems from a $400,000 credit facility and a pending civil suit. The trial resumes July 14 and 15, 2026.

It's unusual to see a senior manager arraigned for forging a letter of undertaking, especially on a single-count forgery charge at Lagos High Court.

I'm not convinced this forgery charge tells the whole story; the alleged FX document manipulation sounds more intricate than it appears.

First Bank should strengthen internal audits on FX transactions to catch discrepancies before they escalate into criminal allegations.
