Read the judgment very well, this time slowly and you will see that there is nothing like payment of #8.8Billion in liquid cash at a go.

The money wasn't deducted at once ,so no judge will give an order for #8.8 billion to be paid at once.

#All banks in Nigeria are insured by the NDIC and they can NOT be liquidated just because of #8.8 Billion.
#People that know nothing about the matter are just commenting based on their tribalistic inclinations.

SpaceTour:
This is getting serious

Forget it, this 9billion is such a huge sum that is capable of bringing GTB down if not they would not have wasted time to the point that their branches are being shut down anyhow.

Onitsha is the economic/commercial capital of the SE, so shutting down GT Banks in Onitsha will be so damning to the bank's fortunes and image in SE and Nigeria at large.

Then I'm sure you'll give jobs to all the workers, right?. Try to rein in your bigotry once in a while.

Mystick:

How did they enter into this mess is what worries me. They are completely trapped. Innoson still has another N14b case against them pending in Supreme Court. He has already won the case from FHC to Appeal court, should the supreme court upholds his winnings, that will be another big wahala. Around N22.8b will be going to just one person because of some carelessness of the bank management. Funny enough, the amount is not even fixed, it is still vomiting billions as long as the issue lingers un-liquidated.

SpaceTour:
Stop yapping rubbish. Their branches are being shut down with attendant de-marketing occasioned by the picketing but you are still here yapping that 9b is nothing. Do you know the damage this shut down of GTB banks have caused to their image? Go and sit down

How GT entered into this mess?
Simple, the same way most people lose money ; carelessness.
They were judging the man by appearance, they never suspected extreme deviousness.
They assessed the man by his simple peasant dressing, badly spoken English with heavy Igbo accent.
A school certificate holder with more money than sense.
Someone they could take advantage of. They started by overcharging his accounts.
The man kept egging them on by showing apparent stupidity and innate weakness .
They never knew this " uneducated, igbotic, peasant" was harbouring dangerous thoughts.
Now he has them by the cojones and they don't even have the decency to acknowledge that they have been outsmarted by a spare parts dealer..
GT would not have tried this with Jimoh Ibrahim, Juhel Pharmacy, or Abdulsamad Rabiu.
They would suspect these people to have sense.
But Spare parts dealer? No.
Now they are paying for it.

Averagely $3M....8billion
GTB networth ₦ 3.16 Trillion (2016)

GTB should accept their loss and learn from this. Besides I suggest the MD should resign after payments.

A Writ is an order to a sheriff to obtain the monetary amount of a judgment out of the non-exempt monies, bank notes and/or goods and chattels of a judgment debtor. As relevant to banks, a Writ will direct a sheriff to go to a particular bank to obtain the judgment debtor’s property found therein to satisfy the judgment.[1]
The lien of the Writ attaches to both the judgment debtor’s tangible and intangible property.[2]
The Writ becomes a lien on the judgment debtor’s intangible property as soon as the Writ is received by the sheriff. However, the lien on the intangible property is not perfected or binding on third parties until notice is given to the third party (the bank) of its existence. A bank could receive notice of the lien pursuant to the Writ either by service of a Notice of Lien or by service of the actual Writ by the sheriff.
The execution of the Writ is completed when the money is transferred to the creditor via the sheriff or the property is sold by the sheriff to satisfy the debt.

Thanks for this professional contributions. Can you explain how GTB becomes the third party instead of the resumed second party.

The 2.2billion court judgement was made in 2011. And Gtb should have paid that money then because it was being held on behalf of customs. But Gtb instead of paying the money decided to employ delay tactics by heading to a higher court. As at the 2011 judgement, the money no longer belongs to the Nigerian customs but to Innoson. That is why, as at this recent supreme court judgement, nothing concerns customs again in this matter, rather it is now between innosson and Gtb. And because of the 22% annual interest being accrued on the money, it has now grown to 8.8billion.
As it now stands, Innoson through the court sheriff will continue sealing off GTB assets until they get to a point were they believe that they can be able to recover their money if those properties are auctioned off. Then they will stop.
From tomorrow watch panic set in, because some properties has already been sealed off in the south east.

nwanyionitsha:
Shut up! And what is onicha?

Mystick:
I'm afraid of the next case, that one is N14b against GTB by same Innoson. He has already won in FHC and court of appeal and currently case is already pending in Supreme Court.
By now I believe the bank will already be regretting ever doing business with Innoson and the step they have taken so far.

Tribal bigots like you fail to understand that GTB is a PLC with shareholders, depositors and workers that are Yoruba,Nupe, Igbo, Urhorobo, Fulani, Kanuri

10 - Innoson agreed to their version and decided to accept payment from it in the spirit of amicable resolution.

30 - Innoson then slammed a N30 billion suit on Guaranty Trust Bank for what it had suffered in monetary terms and reputational terms during the months when the accounts of its companies in all Nigerian banks were frozen. With Innoson winning both cases at the High Court and both cases at the Appeal Court, and GTB appealing, both cases are awaiting the verdict of the Supreme Court. Meanwhile the fresh N30 billion naira suit has just gone to the High Court to start its legal journey.
