Some staff of GTB may have run into trouble over the accounts opening of the notorious kidnapper, Chukwudimeme Onuamadike, alias Evans who was recently arrested by the police and has been helping them in their investigation on his illicit wealth.
Armadanews.com learnt that some personnel of the acclaimed A-list commercial bank have been placed on suspension as detectives step up their investigation into potential alleged manipulation of documents in the process that led to Evans opening accounts with the bank.
Sources close to the police said the bank decided to suspend some of its personnel involved in the account opening ahead of an investigation into how they refused to comply with bank’s laid down rules and internal control measures that may have put the bank in trouble.
To be sure the bank was not helping Evans hide stolen funds or money collected as ransom from kidnapped persons, the account officer(s) are expected to help police detectives in some areas during their findings, a reason their management has taken the suspension measure.
We gathered that the bank itself has been conducting internal review into allegations that its account officials allegedly connived to manipulate the accounts opening of Evans.
