Innoson can never take over the running of the bank.

All Plc's are required to make provision for judgement debt in their books in the event that a court decision is awarded against them on active litigations.

For a bank that declared over N200bn in profit in 2020, one would expect a senior lawyer who has done minimal research to make smarter utterances.

Ha.

This is of great concern and also a lesson to all. Someone lends you money to do business and that same lender turns around to owe you, within the same transaction.

GTBank the lender in this case turned around to owe Innoson and now on the edge of losing their bank to the same organization they loaned money to import goods many years ago.

I think officials of GTbank mismanaged this issue completely. Even with the aid of EFCC, they lost. If this matter is resolved amicably, the board MUST be sacked.

One thought also strikes my mind knowing the Nigeria where we are. Is it not possible that there is a connivance somewhere to secure victory for Innoson and then the players concerned go behind the back to get their cut of a fallen GTbank?

They turned it to a tribal war and unfortunately the buffon lost out, agbaje of a guy ruined gtb

Gtb has become Gtco. Assets have been sold to Gtco. Innoson can only take over Gtb and not Gtco.

As at today, Gtb has nothing and innoson is left looking foolish. Illiteracy is a big disease.
Are you dumb or just a plain illiterate? If all it takes to evade payment of loan is change of name no one will repay loans

I agree that Innoson cannot takeover GTBank.
CBN may eventually intervene to bail out the bank.

But be very careful when reading meaning into the profits announced by banks.
There are a lot of shady underground deals going on in every bank.

What really determines a bank's stability is the capital base, total assets and liabilities.

You want to ruin Gtb the way you ruined Diamond Bank. Foolish Igbos.
Igbos don't repay loans. That is why Igbos don't own banks. You cheat and think you are smart. Now, Innoson has seen how stupid he is and you are both foolish.

Nothingserious:
I used to think this was a joke ooo.
Why is the matter gaining momentum like this?

Please anyone who is well versed on this issue should tell us the true position of things.

GTB is one the systemically important banks in Nigeria.
In summary, this is what I can recall from the case:

1. GTB borrowed Innoson money for importation many years ago.

2. GTB over deducted the loan back from Innoson account, and deducted over ₦500m extra.

3. When Innoson audited his account, and saw the over deduction, he called the attention of GTB to it.

4. GTB investigated and agreed there was an over deduction. But the over deducted amount is less than what Innoson said.

5. Innoson agreed with the value GTB said was over deducted (which is less than the value the firm that audited his account pointed out).

6. Innoson asked GTB to pay back with 22% interest, which is the rate he used to pay back his loan with GTB.

7. GTB refused, and said they can only pay with 8% interest.

8. Innoson went to court. He won at the high court, appeal court, and then supreme court in 2019.

9. As the case was dragging in court all this years, the money kept increasing due to the 22% interest.

10. As at when Appeal court passed judgement, it was still around 8 billion Naira.

11. After supreme court pass judgement in 2019, GTB decided to change their name to GTCO and change their structure.

12. Many people believe GTB's Change of name and structure is a move to avoid paying the judgement debt (since the judgement debt is against GTB and not GTCO).

13. Innoson went to court to try to prevent them from changing name and structure, but he probably failed because GTB went ahead to change name and structure.

14. The judgement debt is currently over 33 billion, and increasing due to the 22% interest. GTB haven't shown any willingness to pay.

Whatever name it changes to will assume all assets and liabilities of GTB as it existed at the time the judgement debt was entered against it so it's of no moment what name the management decides to change to.

thier legal department should be ripped to shreds and reconstituted if they had urged the board on this I knew they were loosing the moment they appealed instead of out of court settlement unless its malami that's the president of the supreme court of Sharia could they have overturned the previous judgement or get maina treatment, too much lawlessness in corporate entity

One thing I know for sure is that the day an Ipob takes over GTB, is the last day I bank with them, can't trust my money with an ipob.

Ngwakwe Aka Chukwudi419. You are notorious for your stupidity and inability to grasp legal issues. You always argue like a demented blockhead.

There was no change of name. Here is what happened.
A new legal entity called GTCO was incorporated at the Cac.
Gtbank sold all its assets to Gtco and collected pittance. It is not about the amount, but the symbolism. Offer, acceptance, consideration has passed. So, it's a valid contract.
It is not a mere change of name, it is not a merger or acquisition.
It is fools like you advising Innoson and that's why he is where he is.

Is it possible for GTB to sell all its assets to GTCO without selling it's liabilities? shocked shocked shocked
