This was disclosed in a statement by the bank on Tuesday.
“We are aware of several stories circulating across several
media platforms about our bank’s Managing Director, Adam Nuru; a former
employee, Mrs Moyo Thomas, and her deceased husband, Mr Tunde Thomas,” a
statement by the bank read on Tuesday.
“While this is a personal matter, the tragedy of the death
of Mr Tunde Thomas and the allegations of unethical conduct require the bank’s
board to conduct a review of what transpired, any violations of our code of
ethics and the adequacy of this code of ethics.
“This is already under way. During the period of the review,
the managing director has volunteered to proceed on leave. This will guarantee
the sanctity of the review process.
“We enjoin all our stakeholders to bear with us as we
conduct this review and to please respect the various families involved.”
Nearly 2,000 persons had signed the petition calling on the
Central Bank of Nigeria and FCMB to sack Nuru over alleged infidelity with a
former employee of the bank Moyo Thomas.
According to them, Nuru should be held responsible for the
death of Moyo’s late husband, Tunde, who reportedly died of depression recently
after Moyo allegedly told him some months ago that her two kids were fathered
by Nuru.
Moyo had allegedly left Tunde and travelled to the United States
with the kids, allegedly informing him that the children were not his when she
got to the US.
Tunde reportedly suffered a stroke on receiving the news but
later recovered.
It was gathered that Tunde tried to put the matter behind
him and decided to remarry.
He reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest and died two days to
the introduction ceremony of his new girlfriend.
