First City Monument Bank (FCMB) says it is investigating an allegation that its Managing Director, Adam Nuru, fathered two children with a married ex-employee, Moyo Thomas, whose husband, Tunde Thomas died of cardiac arrest over the matter.
Recall that a group of Tunde’s friends had taken to change.org to demand the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) took action against Nuru.
The petition titled, “Justice for Tunde Thomas” read: “Tunde Thomas died recently like about a week or 2 from Depression. Apparently, kids from his marriage to Moyo Thomas belongs to wife’s boss (Adam Nuru, the current MD of FCMB). Moyo Thomas left Tunde to go to America with the kids, she told him kids were not his when she got to America. He was later down with stroke but recovered.
“Apparently, Tunde met someone else he was going to remarry but apparently didn’t recover from the first Marriage issues. Tunde was just made director for the MFB he works for. Got back from work last week and had a cardiac arrest 2 days before introduction to pregnant new girlfriend.
“This is a case of gross misconduct based on ethical grounds and an unjustifiable economic oppression by the elites (Adam Nuru) against the less privileged in the society.
“The MD has been doing everything possible to sweep this case under the carpet. We implore the Central Bank of Nigeria as the apex regulator and the board of FCMB to investigate this for the integrity of the bank and Nigerian banking industry.
“This is a case too many, while I agree that this is not the full story, the barest minimum will be an investigation to this unethical conduct by the current MD of FCMB Bank Adam Nuru.”
In a statement, the bank said it was aware of the allegations against Nuru.
According to Sahara Reporters, the statement was signed by FCMB Group Head, Corporate Affairs, Diran Olojo.
