1.1     BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

It will not be easy to say the exact date fraud began in the Nigerian Banking Industry.

However, we are going to have a look at dates of the establishment of the first two indigenous banks in Nigeria as this will help us to trace the origin of some loopholes which bring about fraudulent practices in Nigerian banking system.  The National Bank of Nigeria was establishment in 1933, the Agbomgba bank (now Wema Bank) was established in 1945 and the African Continental Bank was established in the year 1947.

In writing this protect, the area/state chosen for the study is Enugu and the bank of interest is Orient Bank Plc.
