Unfortunately, the Nigerian commercial banking institutions have been ravaged with cases of fraudulent activities, being perpetrated by some of their fraudulent employees.

It was also discovered that the majority of the respondents sees inadequate salaries, greed and unethical behaviour as the most important reasons why employees often engage in fraudulent activities within commercial banks.
