The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been asked to investigate and possibly dismiss the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of First City Monument Bank (FCMB) Limited, Mr Adam Nuru over alleged unethical conduct.

The Group, known as ‘Justice for Tunde Thomas’ has already ignited a petition on change.org to the CBN, FCMB Board, and others, requesting for Mr. Nuru’s dismissal and as at the time of filing this report, about 461 persons have signed the said petition.

Meanwhile, it was alleged that the MD was responsible for the death of a man, Tunde Thomas, who died as a result of depression allegedly foisted on him by Mr. Nuru.

The petitioners contend that the MD had an illicit affair with the deceased wife, which produced two kids she gave birth to.

However, the wife left the deceased and traveled to America where she later blew the trumpet that the kids were not his. As a result, he suffered a stroke which he later recovered.

However, the deceased remarried but it was alleged that he did not recover from the traumatic experience he witnessed during the first marriage and suffered a cardiac arrest, later resulting in his death.

“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”, the petition stated.

Efforts by TheNigerialawyer to reach Mr. Nuru through FCMB for comments on the issue were futile as at press time.
