In reaction to the news which had already gone viral, GTBank speaks up.

Below is the official statement released by Erhi Obebeduo, the Company Secretary of GTBank.

It reads;

The attention of Guaranty Trust Bank PLC (“the Bank”) has been drawn to statements circulating in the news and social media in respect of a purported enforcement of a judgement of the Federal High court, Ibadan, Oyo state, at one of its branches in Anambra state,” it said in a statement on Friday night.

The Bank as a law-abiding corporate citizen is taking all necessary legal steps to address this situation and ensure that no illegal or fraudulent execution is carried out.

It is important to state that the Judgment allegedly in issue is in respect of a Garnishee Proceedings against the account of the Nigerian Customs Service Board domiciled with the Bank and not against the Bank as an entity.

The Bank remains committed to providing best-in- class customer experience to all its valued customers.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
For: GUARANTY TRUST BANK PLC

ERHI OBEBEDUO
Company Secretary.
