The management of First City Monument Bank (FCMB) says it is
reviewing an alleged paternity scandal involving Adam Nuru, its managing
director.
The spotlight had beamed on Nuru after friends of Tunde
Thomas, who died on December 16, alleged that his demise was caused by the
FCMB’s managing director in a petition.
The petition had claimed that Thomas died of depression
after discovering that his two children with Moyo, his ex-wife and former
employee of the bank, belong to Nuru.
It had called on Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), as well as the bank’s board to sack Nuru and conduct a holistic investigation into the matter.
As of the time of filing this report, over 2,500 people have
signed the petition.
But in a statement on its Twitter page, the bank said it was
not unaware of the reports making the rounds about its managing director.
It, however, said the bank is currently reviewing the
allegations, adding that its findings would be made available in due course.
“We are aware of
several stories circulating across several media platforms about our bank’s
Managing Director Adam Nuru, a former employee Ms Moyo Thomas and her deceased
ex husband, Mr Tunde Thomas,” it read.
“While this is a personal matter the tragedy of the death of
Mr Tunde Thomas and the allegations of unethical conduct, require the banks
board to conduct a review of what transpired, any violations of our code of
ethics and the adequacy of these code of conduct ethics. This will be done
immediately.
“We enjoin all our stakeholders to bear with us as we
conduct this review and to please respect the various families involved.”
