PRESS STATEMENT
RE: PURPORTED ENFORCEMENT OF A JUDGMENT AGAINST GTBANK
Lagos Nigeria ~ March 29, 2019:
The attention of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc (“the Bank”} has been drawn to statements circulating in the news and social media in respect of a purported enforcement of a Judgment of the Federal High Court, Ibadan, Oyo State. at one of its branches in Anambra State.
The Bank as a law-abiding corporate citizen is taking all necessary legal steps to address this situation and ensure that no illegal or fraudulent execution is carried
out.
It is important to state that the Judgment allegedly in issue is in respect of Garnishee Proceedings against the account of the Nigerian Customs Service Board domiciled with the Bank and not against the Bank as an entity.
The Bank remains committed to providing best-in-class customer experience to all its valued Customers.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
For: Guaranty BANK PLC
ERHI OBEBEDUO
Company Secretary
