Zenith Bank has spoken on the alleged arrest of their CEO by the EFCC.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Zenith Bank PLC, one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, has dismissed as entirely untrue reports on the purported arrest of its Group Managing Director, Dr. Ebenezer Onyeagwu, in a section of the media.

 

The reports claimed Dr. Onyeagwu was arrested by the EFCC in connection with alleged fraud at the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.

This was contained in a statement issued by the bank in Lagos on Wednesday and signed by Rich El O. Otu, its Company Secretary/General Counsel.

 

The statement added that the bank will continue to maintain the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and transparency and remains committed to providing exceptional banking and financial services to customers.
