#boycottGTBank

Guestlander:
Nobody is above the law, not even the president. But if the man is innocent I hope he is fully exonerated.

Liar...The president is above the law. Where is his WASC certificate?

He had 15 SANs, ready to defend him for not qualifying for the elections based on not having a certificate...

So stop your wicked lying...

Is it not my country Nigeria again? I wouldn't be surprised that the perpetrators are within even the so-called 'senate'. Naija, who kill u go still bury u join in the name of 'i-must-deal-with-him'!!

Seriously,EFCC break my heart, and GT bank, fear me, na to just transfer my fund go ACCESSBANK, because, gt bank should be ready for the worse,

chibuzorAbia:
Nothing will happen, he jumped bail and by so doing he is liable to ARREST!

Hate is driving you to extremes. Ndo.

latsy:
Looters hav suddenly regained their voice and are throwing shade at EFCC.

Shut up that dirty, smelly, stinky trap or better still, fold up those cancerous fingers!
So they should fold their hands and watch 'Saints' Buhari and Magu destroy private business men and citizens of Nigeria?

chibuzorAbia:
Useless senators, see them making sectional statements and vain attempt to protect a common criminal.

Innoson is not an honourable man, no different from the 2 by 2 shop cheats and hustlers in Lagos.

Brother, now is not the time for this. When you see a drug dealer post, you can do the NCAN thing. If we don't see the end of what from all facts on ground is a case of wanton intimidation, it could be anyone tomorrow.

Xisnin:
The senate should face the business of making laws.
Let EFCC do their job.

They also exercise oversight functions and they have the full powers to question the legality of Magu still being retained as Efcc Chairman and his actions in that capacity considering that he has been rejected by the Senate. What is their job? Interfering in civil commercial transactions?

Just imagine what Buhari and his negative, vindictive spirit has turned Nigeria into.

This senseless agencies called EFCC and DSS are making the Italian Mafiosi and the Gestapo look like learners...

The other time it was the DSS invading judges' bedrooms in the thick of the night to harrass, terrorize and intimidate them for insisting on justice and not twisting their verdicts to rubber-stamp electoral frauds of APC.

And there are still people angling for a second term for the tyrant and serial failure...

Which brother? That's an oily soup impostor that coined Igbo related names to keep bashing himself and his generation. Go through his history and see

Nigeria my country. You owe the bank, they will arrest you. If the bank owes you, they will still arrest you.
If this is not witchcraft, then I wonder what it is. EFCC said he refused to honor their invitation, is there no proof in writing that he was formally invited?

No one has arrested a fellow who was sacked by the government for awarding contacts to his company. No one has arrested Maina despite claiming that EFCC knows his Whereabout.
If anyone still wonders what it means to be a 5% person in Nigeria, look no further.

When taking a loan you collaterize.

In loan making you make sure you can recover or don't give the loan.

It is not criminal in forward economies to default on a loan.

Venezuela defaulted
Dngote has defaulted
Otedola has defaulted
Adenuga has defaulted

Ask any solid banker in Nigeria who the biggest debtors are.
Or review the first AMCON list of biggest defaulters whose debt where sold by the banks for dimes on a dollar.

All the richest men owe in Nigeria.

It's not a crime to owe. You simply go after the collateral, and go to court if you meet resistance or can't recover all.

You don't harass him or slap his wife.

Back in the days a man and his family could be sold to repay a debt. That was super long ago.

We are not dogs, nay dogs are more gracious, we are men! Humans! We are dignity itself, we give it definition or it doesn't exist!!!

greiboy:
Are you sure about this?

Efcc hasn't given their version of the story?

Why the media trial since yesterday?

Why are they delaying their own version even after all the parties' versions are trending? Is It is very dumb of them ?. BTW, if they had solid grounds for the arrest, the media-philiac EFCC I know would have started trying Innoson in the cyberspace since yesterday.

The funny thing is that he is not owing gt bank. They are owing him.

From what I read elsewhere it appears he owes the bank.

Every time I read comments on Nairaland, I'm terrified about the future of Nigeria. A whole lot of you are lost causes. I bet your fathers reasoned the way you do now, I bet that's why the nation is what it is now, I bet there really is no hope for Nigeria.

Guestlander:

Share the source with me please

First it was Ibeto, then they went after Uba, now its Innoson, tomorrow will be you. Close your GTB account today. Enough is enough!

The Zoo under buhari D Terrorist is fighting an economic war against Igbos!

Why would GTBank that declares billions of naira PAT virtually every year, not be able to refund Innoson of all illegal excessive charges?
It kinda reminds me of Soludo era when banks were required to re/capitalise! Behold, only very few could do so. De javu playing out?!

The Senate on Wednesday resolved to wade into the arrest of the Chairman of Innoson Motors, Innocent Chukwuma, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Mr. Chukwuma was arrested at his residence in Enugu at about 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday.

The Senate mandated its committee on anti-corruption and financial crimes to investigate the matter and report back within 24 hours.

This decision followed a point of order raised by the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.

“Yesterday I got a number of messages indicating that Mr Innocent Chukwuma was arrested by the EFCC over a transaction between him and GTB,” Mr. Ekweremadu said. “This morning I made an effort and I spoke with him, his story is straight forward, he said he was at his house at 5:00 am Tuesday morning when he heard gun shots and he thought they were assassins and so he went into hiding after about two hours he saw some police and he thought that help had come, so he came out of his hiding and ran to the police man who promptly arrested him. As he was trying to find out what was his offence, they told him when they get to the police station they will inform him of the offence. As at today nobody has told him what the offence is.

“Any person who is arrested and detained should be informed reason for his arrest. As I speak Mr Innoson Chukwuma is yet to be informed of what led to his arrest or detention but if you go through the media today, the story is that he is owing GTB. As a lawyer I’m at a loss how a transaction between someone and his bank will inform the EFCC.”

“The story he told me is that he is not owing the bank anything, he borrowed money from the bank which he has since repaid but the bank kept charging money and withdrawing it from his account. They set up an audit and the auditor came to a conclusion that they had deducted more than N500 million, he was insisting on 22 percent, the bank said they will pay 17 percent so that is where they had the disagreement and they now went to court and it gave judgement in its favour at the federal high court and the court of appeal and the matter is at the supreme court. The fact that matter is in court and it was a commercial transaction gives no room for the intervention of EFCC, I’d like to appeal to this Senate to ensure that Mr Innocent Chukuwma is released promptly.”

In his contribution, Sam Anyanwu, Imo-PDP, questioned the Senate’s silence over alleged continued impunity of the EFCC.

“I want to ask a question. EFCC as it stands today, does it have a chairman? Because I knew in this chamber, the head of EFCC was rejected during screening because of poor performance and yet he has been there as chairman.

“There was a businessman from Imo State that was killed in EFCC custody. The body is still in the mortuary till today. These are the kind of things we are seeing in this country, why must we allow it to continue?

“We have been talking about promoting made in Nigeria goods. This man manufactures vehicles, he has over 5, 000 people in his employment, he has international partners. What are you projecting before them? That he is a criminal? If we as Senate allow this to continue, there is nothing else that will ever work.

“We rejected somebody here, yet he is allowed. Are there no other Nigerians who are credible to fight corruption? Every small thing, EFCC. Tomorrow, if a wife refuses to give his man sex, they will go and call EFCC. It will get to that point.”

Enyinnaya Abaribe, Abia-PDP, threw the Senate into a rowdy session when he announced that the operatives of EFCC slapped the wife of Mr. Chukwuma.

“Another incident happened in his house. The wife asked a question; why are you arresting my husband? What has happened and they slapped her.”

Bwacha Emmanuel, Taraba-PDP, said the perpetrator of such act should be fished out and punished.

“As a member of this Senate, I sponsored a motion to call for support of the anti-corruption war but as I listen to this story. If truly the wife of Innocent Chukwuma was slapped by a member of EFCC, something has to be done. Somebody must be held responsible, somebody must lose his job. Otherwise, we’ll be wasting our time here.”

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, noted that the EFCC will drag the country into ridicule if the issue is not addressed promptly.

“As a society that we are all planning, that our country to be civilised, I think this does not speak well of the country. How a private commercial transaction has now become the focus of the EFCC. I think this area is the focus. Whether he is owing or not, I think we must be seen protecting the fundamental rights of citizens. I’ve never seen when FBI interferes between City Bank and Ford Motors, or the financial crime agency in UK intervenes. We are just making a mockery of ourselves and we really should be able to do the right thing.”

The Senate resolved to intervene in the arrest of Mr. Chukwuma, while mandating its committee on anti-corruption and financial crimes to investigate the matter and report back in 24 hours.

The EFCC had on Tuesday given reasons for arresting Mr. Chukwuma.

“His arrest followed his refusal to honour invitation by the Commission having earlier jumped an administrative bail granted him in a case being investigated by the Capital Market and Insurance Fraud Unit of the Commission’s Lagos office.

“Chukwuma rather than honoring invitation by the EFCC, mobilized six truckloads of thugs pretending to be staff of his company to his residence, where they manhandled EFCC operatives,” EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said.

quote me any where,no country is as useless as Nigeria.
Am a nigerian bt many things go wrong in this damnable place.
A zoo is far far better than Nigeria!!

Sorry, bro, EFCC is wrong on this.

“We rejected somebody here, yet he is allowed. Are there no other Nigerians who are credible to fight corruption? Every small thing, EFCC. Tomorrow, if a wife refuses to give his man sex, they will go and call EFCC. It will get to that point.”

I like this part!!!

Thank you senate.

TyrantInAsoRock:
Effc is a criminal organization


Efcc has never and if care is not taken will never truly fight corruption


From its inception Efcc is just a lawful agency used to carry out political destruction against opponents

Obasanjo used Efcc to fortified his presidency,

Send alamieyeseigha to prison for making moves to deputize Atiku for Aso rock job

Gej wasn't Intrested in fighting opponents hence they were rather ineffective

We should all go into serious prayer session. If Buhari should win this election, that will be the end of the Ibos, Dasuki, GEJ and his famuly, as well as other people in detention because some are from enemy regions some are political and tribal enemies. We must cry to God. We suceeded when we prayed during Abacha government. We must remember if Buhari wins, since this will be his last tenure, he will bury people alive, even sef his cabal may blind this country and nothing will happen

If big fish is haunted this way, how will the small ones fare?

What a country...

Mehn..... Ko funny.

even sef, some of the world wide biggest thieves like Amaechi the lizard, Fashola, Tunibu are there walking freely. May God give the Senate the power to always stand against this devilish givernment. Very shortly efcc will take picture of sky scrapers and other powerful and beautiful places in Dubia, the UK etc and say all those are owned by Innoson Motors.

The bad press coming the way of gtb will not augur well for them. Its gonna cost them big time cos other customers are gonna be jittery about doing biz with them.
They did not calculate this situation well at all. The unintended consequences is gonna be grave to both their image and their biz.

God is watching is government
