Former FNB Employee Granted Bail in Fraud Case


Crime Report

A former employee of First National Bank’s Rundu branch, Emma Nehova Lirumbu (34), was arrested on Wednesday in connection with alleged financial fraud. She was granted bail of N$30,000, and her case has been postponed to 8 May.

According to investigators, Lirumbu allegedly used internet banking to gain access to a client’s account, transferring N$215,000 into multiple accounts from an available balance of N$550,000.

Investigators claim Lirumbu initially assisted pensioner Theresia Namutenya Simuketa in opening a bank account but later misappropriated the funds for personal use. She allegedly transferred N$100,000 to herself, N$15,000 to her nanny, and the remaining sum to various accounts.

Furthermore, it is alleged that Lirumbu used an unidentified customer’s identification to open a fraudulent bank account, forged signatures, and manipulated banking details to facilitate illegal transfers. These transactions reportedly took place between 2021 and 2024.

The case remains under investigation as authorities work to uncover the full extent of the alleged fraudulent activities.
