The Managing Director of First City Monument Bank (FCMB), Mr. Adamu Nuru has been accused of fathering two kids with his married female employee, Mrs Moyo Thomas, leading to the death of her husband, Mr. Tunde Thomas.
Tunde Thomas’s family petitioned the bank alleging their son had died of cardiac attack resulting from the heartbreak he suffered after he discovered that the two children he had raised with his ex wife, Moyo, were not his, but those of Nuhu.
In their petition, the family claimed that Nuhu had sexual relationship with Moyo and fathered her two children while she remained married to Tunde.
It also called on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to sack Nuru, while demanding a comprehensive investigation into the matter.
“This is a case of gross misconduct based on ethical grounds and an unjustifiable economic oppression by the elite (Adam Nuru) against the underprivileged in the society,” the petition, which has already garnered over 700 signatures, reads.
“The MD has been doing everything possible to sweep this case under the carpet. We implore the Central Bank of Nigeria, as the apex regulator, and the board of FCMB to investigate this for the integrity of the bank and Nigerian banking industry.”
