N993.3m alleged fraud: DKK Partners refutes EFCC claims
Abuja, March 2026 (NAN) DKK Partners Limited, has denied the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) allegation of financial fraud of N993.3 million involving some of its members of staff in Ilorin, Kwara.
The company’s denial is contained in a statement on Tuesday by its Chief of Staff, Simon Head.
The EFCC had in a statement on Monday said that it arrested a representative of the company over allegation of financial fraud in Ilorin.
The anti-graft agency had said that the suspect’s arrest was sequel to a petition submitted by Predictus Remit Limited, a subsidiary of Fairmoney Microfinance Bank.
The EFCC also said that the petitioner alleged that the suspect alongside the company directors and their firm fraudulently obtained the said sum under the pretext of facilitating a foreign exchange transaction.
However the Chief of Staff of DKK Partners Limited, has refuted the claim, stressing that the company operated in compliance with applicable laws and had not engaged in any fraudulent activity.
“We categorically and unequivocally refute these false and damaging allegations in their entirety.
“DKK Partners has never committed fraud in Nigeria or in any other jurisdiction, nor has it engaged in any scheme to divert, misappropriate, or launder client funds.
“The sweeping assertions being circulated are wholly unsubstantiated, and present a grossly misleading picture of our business, conduct, and our track record of compliance with all applicable laws and regulations,” he said.
He also expressed dissatisfaction over the handling of the matter, noting that the company was not been given sufficient opportunity to present its position prior to the public disclosure of the allegations.
“We are deeply concerned that EFCC’s handling of this matter has been disproportionate, unfair, and prejudicial, in a manner that appears to have prioritised publicity over due process and factual accuracy.
”At no point has DKK Partners been given a fair opportunity to present its position before these serious allegations were publicised, nor has any credible evidence of wrongdoing by the company been put to us,” he also said.
He added that the company was willing to cooperate with any lawful and impartial investigation and would provide relevant documentation where necessary.
“We remain ready to cooperate with any fair inquiry and to demonstrate that we have acted within the law,” he added.
He further said that the company would take appropriate steps to protect its reputation.
Meanwhile, the EFCC said that the suspect would be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of its investigations.
