…Authorized professional says financial institution can take motion in opposition to peddlers
The Financial institution Clients Affiliation of Nigeria (BCAN) late Sunday detested in unequivocal phrases the try by some social media commentators and publishers to disparage the picture of the First Metropolis Monument Financial institution (FCMB) within the face of the continued controversies over alleged extra-marital affairs of the financial institution’s Managing Director, Mr. Adam Nuru, describing the act of the commentators as unjustifiable.
The Nationwide President of the umbrella physique of financial institution clients in Nigeria, Dr. Uju Ogubunka, in a chat with BRTNews.ng, condemned the continued efforts of some brokers on social media platforms to denigrate the FCMB model by photo-shopped posts that don’t signify the beliefs the financial institution had been famous for over time.
The chartered banker and former Registrar/Chief Government Officer of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), whereas reacting to enquiries by our correspondent on the alleged infidelity of the financial institution’s chief and raging requires his sack and different points referring to the saga, mentioned a lot of the calls weren’t logical when analysed throughout the context {of professional} ism and implications for the monetary system.
In accordance with him, for the reason that points being raised stay simply allegations there may be want for everybody to attend till investigations promised by the financial institution’s board on the matter are accomplished and the findings made recognized that passing judgment on the embattled Mr. Nuru could be cheap.
He mentioned: “That is, in response to you, an allegation. No proper pondering particular person depends on allegation to take motion. Maybe, the exception is investigative motion. As per the query on folks calling the CBN to sack the MD, CBN shouldn’t be the employer of the CEO. So, motion, if there may be any to be taken, shouldn’t be for the CBN to take.
“Once more on the denigrating postings by some Nigerians or commentators on social media about FCMB, I need to say it isn’t the enterprise of financial institution clients to take place on points which are mentioned to be allegations. So, will probably be honourable for BCAN members to ‘thoughts their enterprise’
“The Nigerian banking trade has a Code of Ethics which might situate the difficulty when or if investigated and outcomes present a breach of the moral code. I recommend that premium shouldn’t be positioned on the unverified and unconfirmed “allegation”. Science and know-how have superior that willpower of paternity can simply be ascertained.
“There isn’t any must tarnish or injury peoples’ and establishments’ names, based mostly on allegation(s)”, Ogubunka burdened.
Over the previous few days, some social media abusers and commentators have thrown warning to the winds by ‘photo-shopping’ the FCMB emblem and inscribing ‘Your spouse and I’ rider on it thereby portraying the financial institution in unhealthy gentle.
Commenting on such acts from a authorized perspective, a authorized practitioner, who spoke on the situation of anonymity, mentioned “all these partaking in that kind of act are literally blind to the legislation.
“In all honesty, such acts are libelous and if the FCMB board and even shareholders determine to take authorized motion in opposition to any of them, together with these sharing such detestable messages by their platforms, they’ll all be in deep trouble.
“For God sake, how might anyone descend so low to be tampering with the picture of a authorized particular person all in an try to validate an allegation in opposition to the MD which is but to be legally proved?”, the lawyer queried.
