Alex Otti,MD Diamond Bank
According to YES! Weekly Magazine Another multi-million naira fraud has allegedly been uncovered at Diamond Bank Plc by one of their customers. Embittered by this development, the said customer, Mr. Oluwamayowa Iseyemi, has reported the matter to the Osogbo High Court in Osun State. In his word, the bank tampered with his account without his ‘knowledge, consent and authority’.
For that reason, he’s claiming N25 million as special and general damages. According to his writ of summons, he had been enjoying credit facilities from the Osogbo branch of the bank since 2008. In February 2009 however, he applied for a personal loan of N3 million – which was granted on February 23 via a letter with reference number FD/AO/AA/23/02/2009.
“The loan was repayable in two equal monthly installments with an interest of 25 percent per annum and management fee of two percent flat per quarter in outstanding facility amount payable upfront”. Unfortunately, according to Iseyemi, the bank went contrary to their agreement along the line, tampering with his account in the process.
Maintaining that he had started re-paying the loan when sometime in 2011 he “uncovered a lot of manipulations by the defendant in his account”, he has now rushed to the court to seek redress. The matter came up for hearing recently and from what we were told, more shocking revelations will still follow. Diamond Bank Plc is one of Nigeria’s leading banks. Headed by Dr. Alex Otti, a first class graduate of the University of Port-Harcourt, banker/customer palaver is not new to them.

ReplyDeletethat's good those banks mess with peoples savings a lot they deserve to be thought a lesson for good.
ReplyDeleteI'll be suing gtb very soon if they don't return my money to my account within 1 week. I tried withdrawing with my atm card here in d Uk as usual and the machine counted the money bt it didn't come out. They asked me to fill a card dispute form which I did and sent bk to them and they said it'll take them 45 days to carry out investigations. Umunnem na umunnam its now 60 days and these fools at their card services dept are still playing kalo kalo with me. Thank God I hv free lawyer at least I won't hv to pay litigation fees. Useless bank!

ReplyDeleteI have friends working in different banks, the stories you hear ehn! One bank manager of "Z" will go thru customer accts and ask those with plenty money for loan, a worker in "Gb", mayb dey've fired her now, was in debt! She emptied her mother's acct, her uncle that opened an acct with the bank too, lost a certain amount of money to her, he gave her money to pay in for him, she neva did, was bad d@ during working hours ppl she owed constantly came to harass her in the office. Another bank worker in "SB"(blue n white bank) d girl has bn dere not upto 1 year and has stolen millions alrdy! Ppl please monitor your accts oh! You may think that 50kobo or 1 naira does not make a diff, if a banker can sit down n tk 50k/1naira from customers of a branch regularly in no tym he/she wld av hammered! Do these ppl even read thei code of conduct n ethics book @ all!
