The petitioners calling for the sack of Nuru accuse him of being responsible for the death of the spouse of the bank’s former employee.

The bank in a statement said:

We are aware of several stories circulating across several media platforms about our bank’s Managing Director Adam Nuru, a former employee Mrs Moyo Thomas and her deceased husband, Mr Tunde Thomas.

While this is a personal matter, the tragedy of the death of Mr Tunde Thomas and the allegations of unethical conduct require the bank’s board to conduct a review of what transpired, any violations of our code of ethics and the adequacy of this code of ethics. This is already under way.

During the period of the review, the Managing Director has volunteered to proceed on leave. This will guarantee the sanctity of the review process.

We enjoin all our stakeholders to bear with us as we conduct this review and to please respect the various families involved.
