Some moments from the CWG × Clari5 Anti-Financial Crime Summit 2026.

The playbook for financial crime is being rewritten in real time. Every advancement in financial services introduces new opportunities, and new risks to manage.

Therefore, the quality of tomorrow’s financial ecosystem will be determined by the quality of today’s industry conversations. Financial crime tests the resilience of the entire financial ecosystem and strengthening that ecosystem requires an industry that is committed to sharing practical insight, challenging conventional thinking and continuously raising the standard for how it responds to risks.

At every stage of the CWG × Clari5 Anti-Financial Crime Summit 2026, one message remained consistent: strengthening trust across financial services is a shared responsibility.

That message was reinforced through goodwill addresses delivered by Bawa Usman Kaltungo, Assistant Commander, EFCC and Acting Zonal Director, EFCC Lagos Zonal Directorate, and Mr. Wede Thompson, ACCOBIN Representative and Chief Compliance Officer, Optimus Bank, who emphasized the importance of continued collaboration across regulators, financial institutions and technology partners in responding to increasingly sophisticated financial crime.

In his closing remarks, Mr. Afolabi Sobande, Group Chief Operating Officer, CWG Plc, reflected on the significance of bringing together the people shaping the future of banking, fraud prevention, and compliance, and thanked speakers, partners, and attendees for contributing to the day’s discussions.

The conversations continued well into the networking sessions. And for us, that’s one of the most important outcomes of gatherings like this: creating opportunities for decision-makers to exchange ideas, build stronger relationships and continue working together towards a safer, more resilient financial ecosystem.

One perspective can highlight a challenge. It takes several perspectives to uncover a way forward.

That was the premise behind the CWG X Clari5 Anti-Financial Crime Summit 2026 panel discussion, where leaders representing regulation, banking, compliance, audit, and cybersecurity came together to examine how these industries should strengthen their response to financial crime as AI reshapes both opportunity and risk.

Moderated by Mr. Pattison Boleigha, Managing Director, Pattison Consulting Limited, the discussion featured:

Solomon Abiakalam, Group Chief Conduct and Compliance Officer, Access Bank
Aina Amah, Chief Audit Executive, Providus Bank and ACAEBIN Representative
Bawa Usman Kaltungo, Assistant Commander, EFCC and Acting Zonal Director, EFCC Lagos Zonal Directorate
Wede Thompson, ACCOBIN Representative and Chief Compliance Officer, Optimus Bank
Festus Amede, Chief Information Security Officer, Zenith Bank

Together, the panel unpacked “Anti-Fraud, AML/CFT/CPF in the Banking Industry: Gearing Up for the AI Era,” exploring the role of governance, intelligence sharing, cybersecurity, regulation and institutional collaboration in strengthening trust across Nigeria’s financial ecosystem.

One message carried through every perspective shared: tackling financial crime will require coordinated action across the entire ecosystem, not isolated efforts from individual institutions.

Every new technology creates opportunity. It also creates new avenues for financial crime.

Against that backdrop, two technical sessions from the Clari5 team explored what financial institutions are up against today, and how they can prepare for what’s next.

In the session “State of the Threat: Nigeria’s Fraud Ecosystem Today,” Dhruv Manga, Chief Risk Officer, Clari5, unpacked the tactics, trends, and patterns shaping what fraud looks like today. He also highlighted why institutions need greater visibility and faster decision-making as threats continue to evolve.

Building on that conversation, Jayaprakash Kavala, Chief Product Officer, Clari5, challenged attendees to consider a broader question in the session: “The AI Era Is Here: Is Nigerian Banking Ready?” His session examined what readiness looks like in practice, from technology adoption and governance to the capabilities institutions will need as AI becomes increasingly embedded across financial services.

Both sessions reinforced a recurring message from the summit: keeping pace with financial crime requires organizations to evolve just as quickly as the threats they face.

Can financial institutions continue to respond to fraud the way they always have, when the nature of financial crime is changing so rapidly?

That question framed the keynote address delivered by Ngover Ihyembe-Nwankwo, Executive Director, NIBSS, whose session challenged attendees to rethink fraud management beyond detection alone.

Speaking on “From Detection to Prevention: Operationalizing End-to-End Anti-Fraud Models in the AI Era,” she examined why financial institutions are increasingly shifting towards intelligence-led, preventative models that identify threats earlier, strengthen operational resilience, and enable faster, more coordinated responses.

As AI reshapes both the opportunities and risks facing financial services, one message stood out clearly: prevention is becoming just as critical as response.

At the core of the CWG × Clari5 Anti-Financial Crime Summit 2026 was one clear objective: convening the voices shaping the future of trust in financial services.

In his opening remarks, Wale Adeyipo , Group CEO/MD, CWG Plc, spoke about the importance of industry-wide collaboration in addressing financial crime, noting that trust in the AI era will depend not only on technology, but on how institutions work together to strengthen resilience and protect customers.

What followed were candid conversations, expert perspectives, and practical insights from professionals working to address some of the financial industry’s most pressing challenges.

More from the summit, coming shortly.
