Uyinene's killer lied to Post Office about his criminal record.

In a statement sent to the Sunday Times in response to questions, the Post Office said their preliminary investigation found that the man’s appointment did not follow its routine recruitment process.

Post Office board spokesperson Charles Nwaila confirmed that the man was not screened when he was appointed - first as a part time employee, through a labour broker, and then later as a full-time employee. “During 2016, the implicated employee was appointed into a permanent teller position. During this time he had signed another declaration confirming that he did not have any criminal record. He also affirmed an oath required by the Sapo Act committing to be honest and trustworthy, and to act in accordance with the law.”
