Chairman of Innoson Motors, Dr
Innocent Chukwuma has admitted to have posted a false report on the directive
of the Supreme Court ordering the GTBank to pay him N14bn within 14 days.
Chukwuma, in a statement released
last week by Cornel Osigwe, Innoson Group’s head of corporate communications,
claimed that the court struck the motion for stay of execution of the Enugu
court of appeal division’s order that GT Bank pays N6 billion into an interest
yielding account.
GTBank in a quick reaction told
the public that Innoson’s claims were “false, mischievous and malicious”.
“There was no directive or Order
issued by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to the Bank to make any payment to any
of its debtor Customers. We again reiterate that there is no iota of truth in
the falsehood being peddled by desperate and mischievous elements and the
General Public should disregard same in its entirety,” part of the Bank’s press
statement read.
Innoson has publicly come out to
apologize for misleading the public.
The company has now in a
statement through its official handle said the caption was a slight distortion
of the information.
It said, “The management of
Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing want to bring to the attention of the public to
the caption: *SUPREME COURT ORDERS @gtbank TO PAY 14BN to INNOSON made on its
official twitter handle @Innosonvehicles.
“The caption was a slight distortion
of the information. When the information came to our notice we had to correct
the error made by the staff of the agency managing our social media accounts.
We apologize for that misleading information.
”Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing
(IVM) is still committed in the vision to make Nigeria self sufficient in
automobile production.”
