The United Bank of Africa, UBA has denied involvement in the funding of the failed coup plot in Turkey.
A Turkey-based newspaper, Yenisafak, had reported that some of those arrested in connection with the July 15, 2016 failed coup plot had told their interrogators that UBA Plc and a United States of America Army General, John F. Campbell, arranged for the funding of the coup plot.
The newspaper alleged that the funds, in the region of $2 billion, was moved from the United States of America into UBA Plc from where it was funnelled to the coup plotters But UBA Plc, in a statement by its Head of Communications, Charles Aigbe, denied involvement in the failed coup plot.
Aigbe said in the terse statement on Tuesday: “UBA is aware of the on-going and spurious media speculation linking our institution to recent events in Turkey. In light of this we believe it is necessary to categorically state that UBA has no involvement in or connection to these accusations, which are clearly false.
“We remain focused and firmly committed to delivering on our strategy to build Africa’s premier banking institution.”

ReplyDeleteIt is rather amazing that FG has not issued a counter statement.
ReplyDeleteThere has been strict forex controls in Nigeria so how could $2b have been moved in and out of UBA?
Unless of course FG has been complicit in obtaining forex outside the stipulated guidelines at the detriment of Nigerians who havebeen suffering under the guidelines.
Food for thought.
If you move 100billion dollars into your account even CBN can't stop you from moving same money to wherever you wish provided the money is not laundered and it's not to banned country like lebanon, Syria etc. So the money might be packed in such away that it might seem genuine and consistence to normal business transactions.
