A Chinese national, Zhengjia Jin, is currently embroiled in a high-profile corruption case in Nigeria. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has leveled serious allegations against Jin, accusing him of stealing over N301 million from the Golden Diamond Industrial Manufacturing Company Ltd.
The EFCC alleges that Jin embezzled the funds and deposited them into his personal Access Bank account (number 1861390260) belonging to Golden Diamond Industrial Manufacturing Company Ltd. The agency further claims that Jin accepted bribes from individuals seeking business deals with the company.
Jin has formally denied all charges brought against him. However, a Nigerian court has ordered his detention pending a bail hearing scheduled for November 22nd. If convicted, Jin could face a substantial prison sentence.
The country continues to combat corruption and are determined to hold both domestic and international individuals accountable for financial crimes.
