A customer service analyst with Callup Technology Services Limited, Confidence Ejor, has been dragged before the Federal High Court in Lagos over an alleged N75 million fraud involving the company’s payment system.
Ejor was arraigned by the Inspector General of Police on four counts bordering on cybercrime, money laundering and fraudulent conversion before Justice Friday Ogazi.
The prosecution alleged that the defendant, who worked as a Customer Service Experience Analyst at Callup Technology, exploited loopholes in the firm’s core payment platform on June 16, 2026, to allegedly divert funds meant for customer transactions.
According to prosecutor Momoh Y. Bello, Ejor and other persons said to be at large allegedly manipulated the system by using the company’s wallet to process customers’ bookings instead of charging the customers’ individual wallets.
The alleged operation, the police told the court, led to the conversion of about N75 million for the personal benefit of Ejor and her alleged accomplices.
The prosecution further alleged that the funds were transferred into an account bearing Ejor’s name with Moniepoint Microfinance Bank and other private accounts, despite her allegedly knowing that the money was proceeds of an unlawful act.
Ejor was also accused of retaining and converting the funds belonging to Callup Technology Services Limited with the intention of permanently depriving the company of the money.
The charges were said to have contravened provisions of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act, 2015 (as amended in 2024), the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, and the Criminal Code Act.
However, Ejor denied all the allegations and pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to her.
Following her plea, the prosecutor urged the court to fix a trial date and ordered that the defendant be remanded in custody pending the conclusion of the case.
But Ejor’s lawyer informed the court that a bail application had already been filed and served on the prosecution.
The prosecutor confirmed receiving the application on August 17 and told the court that he still had time to respond, while urging the judge to consider the matter in line with the law.
After hearing arguments from both sides, Justice Ogazi adjourned the matter until Friday for ruling on the bail application.
The judge subsequently ordered that Ejor be kept in the custody of the Police Special Fraud Unit (PFSU) pending the ruling.
The police alleged in the charge that Ejor and others at large “knowingly and without lawful authority” manipulated Callup Technology’s payment system by debiting the company’s wallet for customer transactions, allegedly resulting in the diversion of N75 million.
