“It’s Malicious And Fake” FBN Holdings Rubbishes Report On GMD Okonkwo, First Bank
First Bank Holdings has described as Malicious a fake news on First Bank Plc where the picture and name of Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo was carelessly displayed.
Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo is the Group Managing Director of FBN Holdings.
The holding company responded via a communication made available and signed by its management.
The management pointed out that the news item where the said name and image was used has already been discarded as untrue in a publication titled: ‘EFCC Did Not Raid Tinubu’s Home’.
The anti-corruption body reportedly made the clarification via a statement signed by its Head, Media & Publicity on its verified twitter handle.
Urging the general public to disregard the story and similar ones, the management insisted that neither the managing director of the bank nor the GMD of the holding company have anything to do with the alleged matter.
The statement…
MALICIOUS PUBLICATION – REBUTTAL
Our attention has been drawn to false news making the rounds that an order of arrest has been made against the MD of FirstBank whilst using the name and image of the GMD of FBN Holdings. We wish to state categorically that this is fake news which has already been debunked by EFCC in their publication titled: ‘EFCC Did Not Raid Tinubu’s Home’ and signed by the Commission’s Head, Media & Publicity on its verified twitter handle.
Neither the Managing Director of the Bank nor the Group Managing Director of the Holding company, Nnamdi Okonkwo have any involvement with the matters alleged in this made up news story nor is there an order of arrest against either one of them.
The public should disregard this and all such similar stories whilst the authorities are called upon to fish out the perpetrators of this malicious story.
Signed:
Management
