Contrary to the report that the Chairman of Innoson Nigeria Limited, Chief Innocent Chukwuma was arrested and interrogated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over a petition by Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, the company has categorically denied that its chairman was at any time arrested by the anti-graft agency.
The company’s solicitors, McCarthy Mbadugha & Co in a letter to THISDAY described as erroneous the story published on July 1, 2015.
Innoson also denied owing GTBank, saying that an audit of its account revealed that GTBank illegally deducted huge sums from its account.
On the allegation that the police charged Chukwuma to court over the matter, the company said the police never found Innoso and Chukwuma or either of them culpable of the criminal allegations levelled against them by the bank.
The police, it added, never and did not at any time charge Chukwuma to court in respect of the bank’s petition or in respect of any petition or allegation whatsoever.
According to Innoson, “At all material times Innoson Nigeria Limited operates a current account with GTBank. Subsequently, Innoson discovered that GTBank imposed excess and unlawful charges in its current account in the sum of N550 million and was demanding it to pay this to it with the accrued interest thereon. Innoson requested GTBank to credit its account with the N560 million and the accrued interest. GTBank refused this request. As a result Innoson commenced suit No: FHC/AWK/CS/139/2012 against GTBank at the Federal High Court, Awka and obtained judgment in excess of N4.7 billion against GTBank more: http://www.thisdaylive.com/go/search/?search=EFCC
