Newsonline reports that Fidelity Bank has reacted to the viral video of a man backed by a group singing outside one of its branches in Anambra.
This was disclosed by the bank via a statement issued on Tuesday.
According to the bank in a statement, it refuted claims that the man was wrongfully debited by Fidelity bank adding that the picketing exercise was organized by the Almagamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil service Technical and Recreational Employees (AUPCTRE) over a dispute they have with Anambra State Waste Management Authority (ASWAMA).
It also accused the union of taking the law into its hands to attack Fidelity Bank despite that the motion of stay of execution is still pending and had not yet been heard and determine.
The statement read in part, “Our attention has been drawn to a video circulating online about a man signing at one of our branch.
“Contrary to the media report claiming that the man was wrongfully debited by the bank, the video is actually a picketing exercise organized by the Almagamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil service Technical and Recreational Employees over a dispute they have with Anambra State Waste Management Authority.
Making reference to an earlier publication by the bank on the issue, it noted that although the union obtained a garnishee order against the account of Anambra State Government in Fidelity Bank, it is unable to honour it as the ASWAMA immediately filed a notice of appeal as well as motion for stay of execution of the order of court.
It said, “The union is aware of these processes as they were also served. The motion for stay of execution is still pending and had not yet been heard and determine when the union took the law into its hands to attack Fidelity Bank.”
The bank had earlier issued a statement on its website addressing the picketing of Fidelity Bank’s branches and offices nationwide by the AUPCTRE in an attempt to enforce a garnishee order absolute made by the National Industrial Court, Enugu.
