First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has succumbed to pressure by allowing its Managing Director, Adam Nuru, to proceed on an indefinite leave.
In a statement, the bank said the decision to allow Nuru proceed on an indefinite leave was to for probe into the sexual scandal allegation involving its MD and and a married employee of the bank, Moyo Thomas, leading to the death of her husband from cardiac arrest who found out that the children he thought were his, belonged to Nuru, his wife’s boss.
The statement reads: “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.”
Moyo had allegedly left Tunde and travelled to the United States with the kids, and then informed her husband that the children were not his. The shock, according to reports, led to Tunde’s stroke.
Tunde was later said to have recovered from the stroke and had been trying to get his life back by getting into a relationship with another woman whom he was trying to marry, only to later suffer cardiac arrest and died two days to the introduction ceremony of his new girlfriend.
