FirstBank Exonerates Self Amid Allegation of N55m Fraud By A Customer
FirstBank has declined the allegation of fraud of N55 million by one of its customers, Dr. Agbai Eke.

Dr. Eke, in a video circulating disclosed he sued the bank over an alleged fraudulent withdrawal from his fixed deposit account at the bank’s former Abiriba branch, now relocated to Uzuakoli in Abia State.

He purported in the lawsuit that the bank failed to bounce back his deposit.

Responding to the allegation, the bank in a statement described the allegation as pseud, explaining that Dr. Eke engaged in unethical dealings with a former employee of the bank to facilitate unauthorized transactions outside the bank.





“We have been made aware of a recent publication and a video circulating regarding a court case filed by a customer, Dr. Agbai Eke, against FirstBank.

“We can confirm that the allegations of fraud in the Bank as alluded to by ‘Dr. Agbai Eke’ are as a whole unfounded and manipulated. Our findings on the matter indicate unprofessional and unethical dealings between Dr. Agbai Eke and a former FirstBank employee, utilising a personal dependency to facilitate unauthorized transactions outside the bank’s knowledge or involvement,” the statement reads.

The statement subjoined that the bank has sought intervention from law enforcement for proper investigations.

“As the matter is currently before the Court, we will refrain from further comments to allow the Court to dispassionately quantify the issues before it. The Bank has equally filed a report to law enforcements for further proper investigations and the suspects have made useful statements while the investigations are ongoing,” the statement interposed.



The statement reaffirmed the bank‘s commitment to endure transparent and accountable.

“FirstBank abides committed to transparency, accountability, and the protection of its customers’ interests. We assure our stakeholders that we operate with the highest standards of integrity and professionalism,” the statement revealed.
