For test of statistical significance, t-statistics was employed. The findings of the study indicate that, there is positive, but insignificant abnormal return on share prices of DMBs before, on, and after the day of announcement of crime in Central Bank at 5% level of significance. Thus, the study concludes that, there is no significant abnormal return before, on the date and after crime announcement in Central Bank of Nigeria for share prices of DMBs in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommends that the Apex Bank and other regulatory bodies should be more proactive in devising mechanisms towards eliminating or deterring criminal activities among employees.
