The Managing Director, First City Monument Bank Limited,
Adam Nuru, has volunteered to go on leave to enable the bank to investigate the
paternity allegations against him.
This was disclosed in a statement by the bank on Tuesday.
The statement read, “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.”
About 1,927 persons had called for the sacking of Nuru over
alleged infidelity with a former employee of the bank, Moyo Thomas.
The petition requested the Central Bank of Nigeria and the
FCMB board to dismiss Nuru on ethical grounds.
This occurred after the death of Moyo’s late husband, Tunde,
who reportedly died of depression recently after Moyo allegedly told him some
months ago that her two kids were fathered by Nuru.
Moyo had allegedly left Tunde and travelled to the United
States with the kids, allegedly informing him that the children were not his
when she got to the US.
Tunde was said to have been down with stroke but later
recovered.
It was gathered that Tunde tried to put the matter behind
him and decided to remarry.
He reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest and died two days to
the introduction ceremony of his new girlfriend.
