Coalition Tackles Bank Over Alleged Harassment Of Ubah

This was contained in an address read by the president of the CCSOs, Etuk Bassey Williams and secretary general of the coalition, Abubakar Ibrahim, at a press conference in Abuja.

The CSSOs alleged that the bank has gotten itself involved in “politics” knowing that Senator Ubah is contesting in the forthcoming governorship primary election of All Progressives Congress this weekend in Anambra State and described the staged protest at Ubah’s residence by staff of the bank as blackmail.

The statement reads in part, “Our attention has been drawn to a virile video in which some staff of Heritage Bank stormed Sen. Andy Ubah’s residence in Abuja demanding for repayment of loan allegedly owed the bank years back. “We are surprised that, a bank will get itself involved in state politics knowing that same person is contesting primary election this weekend in Anambra State. When has protest turned means of enforcing repayment of Bank loans? Are there no other legitimate means of ensuring that debtors pay their loans instead of resolving to blackmail and destroying reputation of their customer on the social media spaces.

“We, as Coalition of Civil Society Group frown at this blackmail tendencies of Heritage Bank and call on relevant agencies to look into it and bring them to book. Banks should always adhere to oath of secrecy that exists between them and their customers. Turning to agents provocateur in the hands of political enemies of Sen. Andy Ubah is disheartening for a bank.
