Guys No Gobe for GTB, they simply removed the money and possibly used it as part of their capitalization fund, they are definitely going to withdraw from their capital fund . if u know how much they had made with the fund if they ve done biz with the fund, then u will realize that GTB was very smart and took advantage of the CBN policy.

I swore to burn down their bank that day and threatened to kill every body in the bank.

Good judgement.Most banks deduct money from most of their customer's account without the consent of the acnt owner. If companies should start having their accounts crosschecked, they would end up discovering that what most of these banks does.


When you take up facilities from any bank, try to get a consultant to request for your statement of account and now audit it, you may end up discovering what most of these banks does.

most of the people here just comment without reading the post and we claim to be future leaders? This is why people like ObJ has been our past present and will be future leaders. An average youth is lazy, assuming and ignorant. The money is for his clients and if you understand what settlement is all about , such compensations must be paid to the law firm or valuation company representing the complainants. The firm now disburse to the individuals or family represented

Nothing will hit the bank. The report was muddled up

The Accountant General paid N5.3billion to Edward's account for the benefit of his clients in January 2014. Edward started withdrawing the sum piecemeal based on the credited amount. During the year, the CBN ordered the recall of the entire N5.3 billion earlier credited for some undisclosed reason which Gtb must and complied with.

While Edward was right in suing GTB, CBN and Accountant General, the judge misled itself in excluding the CBN and accountant general as the defendants in the case. Is the judge saying a bank must disburse money that is no longer in its possession? He should know how cbn/bank relationship works. The CBN does not even need to require Gtb to remit the money back to it, cbn will simply debit the Gtb account maintained with it. It is now left for the bank to recover the fund from the customer

God bless you. I was beginning to get worried that no one was actually reading and understanding thoroughly.

Is this the same Ted who was indicted for stealing luxury cars in Atlanta and shipping to Nigeria from 2002 to 2005? He is now a lawyer?

David Nahmias, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, and Kenneth Smith, Special Agent In Charge, Immigration & Customs Enforcement, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, announced that a federal grand jury has returned an indictment against Ted Iseghohi Edwards, 44, a/k/a “Steve Poncho,” “Prince Lewis,” and “Dee;” Ogoegbunam Umenyiora, 30, a/k/a “Jason Williams,” and “J.R.;” and Gregory Shields, 28, a/k/a “Greg,” all of Atlanta, on charges of conspiracy to export stolen vehicles and to transport them across state and country lines.

According to Nahmias and the indictment:
Beginning in or about May 2002, and continuing through in or about January 2004, the three conspired to operate a stolen vehicle ring that shipped luxury vehicles out of the United States. Shields acquired vehicle identification numbers (VIN’s), and used that information to produce fraudulent ownership documents for those vehicles. Shields then recruited co-conspirators to fraudulently present those documents to dealerships to obtain replacement keys for the vehicles and to use the replacement keys to steal the vehicles.

The indictment, originally filed on April 17, 2005 alleges Edwards, Ogoegbunam and others loaded the stolen vehicles into rented shipping containers at Marietta Collision Center, 456 Roswell Street, Marietta, Georgia, an auto repair shop owned by Edwards.

The defendants also used the containers at Trans Volta American Inc., 1143 Willingham Drive, East Point, Georgia. Edwards hired trucking companies to transport the rented shipping containers containing stolen motor vehicles to the Port of Savannah for export to Le Havre, France, with Nigeria to be the final destination. Shipping and exporting documents falsely listed the contents of the containers as “refrigerators,” “floor carpet,” “computers and printers,” “air conditioners,” or “auto parts.”

gtb bank, yoruba bank, kalukalu bank..funny bank


how can bank allow such a huge withdrawal


weyreypey:
A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Apo, Abuja, on Monday ordered Guaranty Trust Bank Plc to refund N5.3bn illegally withdrawn from the account of one its customers, Dr. Ted Edwards.

Justice Valentine Ashi, in his judgment, ordered that the N5.3bn should attract 10 per cent interest from Monday, when judgment was delivered, till the time the money was paid back to the owner.

The court also ordered that the money should attract another 21 per cent interest from December 12, 2014 when GTB allowed the illegal withdrawal, until the fund was eventually paid back to Edwards.

The judge, while reviewing the case in his judgment, held that the bank did not have any defence to its action of the withdrawal of the total sum of N5,240,516,186.21 from the customer’s account and thereby ordered the bank to pay the money to the owner through his Zenith Bank Plc account.

Edward, a lawyer of Edwards and Partners Law Firm, had initiated the suit, FCT/HC/CV/939/2015, in January 2015 following the alleged illegal withdrawal of the money on December 12, 2014.

The money was paid into the plaintiff’s law firm’s account with the GTB on January 2, 2014 by the Accountant-General of the Federation, Jonah Otunla.

The money was said to be for the settlement of a judgment got by his clients, Impecca Services Limited and His Royal Highness, Eze Ezekwo, against the Association of Local Government of Nigeria, as cost of consultancy services they rendered to the 774 local governments.

But in his judgment on Monday, Justice Ashi struck out the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Accountant General of the Federation, Minister of State for Finance, Anaocha Local Government Area, and the Incorporated Trustees of ALGON from the suit as defendants on the grounds that they were not necessary parties.

The plaintiff stated, in the suit’s originating processes, that shortly after the money was paid into his account on behalf of his clients, GTB made some disbursements from the account as directed, but that he was only informed on December 12 by an official of the bank that the Central Bank of Nigeria had withdrawn the N5.3bn.

He said that when he enquired from the bank why it made deduction from his account without his consent, he said GTB only insisted that the withdrawal was made in obedience to CBN directive, which it could not disobey.

Justice Ashi held in his judgment that GTB betrayed the banker-customer relationship between it and the plaintiff.

The judge held that it was wrong for GTB to have made withdrawal from the customer’s account without the customer’s knowledge and consent.

The judge held that GTB’s claim that it was helpless and that the withdrawal was at the instance of CBN was not tenable.

GTB still erred. What if the guy has withdrawn all the money? What would they have done? Won't they notify the account owner?

Imho, GTB can sue CBN since they acted on CBN's directives. The interest na die!!!! That's their only liability here and CBN should take the fall provided that there's proof of the directive.

My 2 cents on the matter.
