What I'm looking for

I’m looking to drive fraud operations and end-to-end incident response for wire and cyber fraud, strengthening operational risk controls through rigorous case management, data integrity, and compliant documentation for investigations and regulatory reviews.

I’m a detail-oriented Fraud Operations professional with over 9 years of experience in financial crime investigation and case management. I identify operational risk and manage end-to-end incident response for complex wire fraud and other financial crimes, while using data analysis and documentation to protect data integrity for downstream analytics and regulatory compliance.

In my current role as a Financial and Economic Investigator (EFCC), I investigate money laundering, cyber fraud, and wire fraud, and I manage end-to-end case workflows to collect and preserve evidence for litigation and compliance reviews. I conduct structured interviews, coordinate surveillance and field operations, and produce comprehensive investigative reports with high taxonomy standards; earlier, as a SOC/Fraud Analyst at First Bank Plc., I monitored e-banking and mobile transaction logs, analyzed SOC alerts, and handled incident response lifecycle documentation in Excel.
