The call for the sack of First City Monument Bank, FCMB, Group Managing Director, GMD, Adam Nuru, by different quarters to the Central Bank of Nigeria has taken a new twist as FCMB have released another statement, exonerating its GMD of any wrong doing.
Diran Olojo, FCMB spokesperson had earlier said that the Organization is monitoring the development and will soon come out with its findings on Friday, has revealed that there is no evidence to link the Bank’s Managing Director, Nuru, with death of Tunde Thomas as being speculated.
Olojo speaking through Rafiu Mohammed said it is unfortunate that people could come up with unsubstantiated claims which the deceased never raised when he was alive.
“Assuming there was a DNA report that said there was indeed an affair between them and the children belonged to the MD, that’s evidence. But so far, there’s none. Also, has any evidence established his (Thomas’s) death was caused by our MD? Anyone can suffer cardiac arrest,” he said, to dismiss the allegations in the social media.
Nuru, according to him, the fact that Tunde Thomas impregnated another lady and was on the verge of remarrying before his death showed that he had already moved on from what transpired during his marriage to Moyo.
“It’s mere allegation with no evidence or fact to back it up. That’s the issue. But if they come up with evidence, we will respond. Also, the petition is going through the CBN, does the apex bank settle personal or marital issues?
“The person in question has died. When he was alive, he didn’t take up the matter himself but when he died, some people are claiming to be fighting for him”, he said.
