Orient bank employee identified as Wander Innocent who is suspected of masterminding a bogus deal with city businessman Thomas Kigoya alias Kaya has been arrested pending through investigations.
According to the bank staff who asked to be protected because of the sensitivity of this matter revealed to TrumpetNews this morning that Innocent leaked information to Kaya how an IT firm Technology Associates had over shs 6 billion on its fixed deposit account- 28201202010523.
It is further alleged that Kaya then plotted with his purported wife Joy Nattimba using a pseudo company Jeso Properties with an account number in Orient bank 24265502010101 and channelled money from Technology Associates.
“Kaya who deals in real estate again used Orient bank employees to wire $350000 and more $300000 using Prism Company,” a source said.
Adding this fraud was masterminded on different occasions until it summed up to shs 6b.
“Two bank officials including Kaya’s accomplice Innocent are in police custody as investigations are ongoing,” a source said.
Kaya who has been questioned by authorities insist that he accumulated the colossal amount of money after selling off his property.
TrumpetNews further understands that he presented land titles to Orient bank officials as evidence but this has been dismissed as police is trying to unearth the source of the money.
This isn’t the first time Kaya’s name is embroiled in dubious deals.
Efforts to talk to Kaya were unsuccessful as he refused to pick our repeated call.
No Orient bank official was willing to comment about the matter, maintaining they are protecting the bank’s image.
More details coming. Watch the space!
