Our Head Office, Branch, Not Sealed – First Bank

First Bank has denied reports in some section of the social media that its head office or a branch office was sealed supposedly by a government authority.

A statement by the bank made available to GreenWhiteGreen GWG affirmed that the story as alleged was a misrepresentation of the facts of the situation.

It, however, admitted issues with the authorities in Abuja concerning its Coomassie House Branch in Abuja over what it claimed as an unlawful action flowing from a garnishee order.

The First Bank statement denying that its headquarters or branch office was sealed, read thus:

Our attention has been drawn to the news reports online with the conflicting claims that FirstBank branch or/head office has been sealed.

Please be informed that the referenced story is a misrepresentation of the facts and misleading. Neither our branch nor head office was sealed. On the 4th of August, 2022, there was an unlawful enforcement at the Bank’s Coomassie House Branch of a garnishee order issued by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja which order the Bank is still challenging in court.

While the Bank has taken appropriate legal steps to deal with the situation, we wish to reassure our customers of unhindered banking services and unique customer experience in all our branches and through our numerous alternative channels.
