Lawrence C. Nnoli Versus GTBank Plc
.............................
UPDATE

The court case filed by Lawrence C. Nnoli against Guaranty Trust Bank plc came up today before Honourable Justice R. M Aikawa of the Federal High Court, Lagos with Guaranty Trust Bank admitting in its statement of defence some of the claims as filed by the claimant. Specifically, it admitted owing the claimant some money which it has subsequently issued a banker’s cheque in his favour. The bank was represented by its counsel Mr Osemudiamen Umane.

Following the settlement of pleadings by parties, the court today slated the matter down for trial and adjourned same to 17th December 2019.

As it would be recalled, trouble started when the claimant noticed some illegal deductions which the bank made in his bank account. Upon noticing this, he reported same to the bank’s management. After making the report, the bank acknowledged the illegal deductions and refunded the monies it illegally deducted from the claimant’s account. However, few months later, the claimant started noticing various discrepancies in his account prompting him to write the bank requesting the immediate closure of the account in December 2018.

Instead of acceding to the claimant’s request for the closure of his account, the bank made another similar illegal deduction from the claimant’s account claiming it is money it failed to deduct from the claimant’s account in 2017. This according to the bank was an accounting error on its own part.

All efforts by the claimant to get the bank to reverse the illegal deduction fell on deaf ears prompting the claimant to approach the court for specific reliefs and exemplary damages against the bank.

UBA leads and others follow in pilfering. I dragged them online they refunded my 100 Naira
Shii pain them, they sent me no alert to the effect
I'm closing my account with them. The one to replace them I don't know yet but I must stop the thieves.

I am in a similar situation with GTBank now... for almost a week all my accounts (Naira, Dollar, Euro and Pounds) have debited to the excess of N500,000.
All my appeals and requests/ complaints have fallen on dead and deaf ears. We are working on it what they keep saying regardless of who I complain to.

I see no other way out of this than a law suit.

What kind of stupid scam is this... when everywhere dey hot financially.
