Nigerians Beware: How Diamond Bank Ruined My Flourishing Business –Imo Businessman cries out

...................................................................................


Prince Amobi Alfred Ugochukwu is a notable personality in Imo State. He is a native of Nkwerre Local Government Area of the State. He is presently not happy with how DIAMOND BANK NIGERIA PLC frustrated him for almost 20 years, killing his once flourishing business in the process. Hence he has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

As a contractor and Managing Director of Al-CLEMENT ENTERPRISES, an indigenous Company which is involved in contracting services and general merchandise, Prince Ugochukwu entered into contracts with the Imo State Secondary Education Management Board (SEMB) and the Imo State Primary Education Board for the Production of student identity cards on the 10th of March 1997, at a value of over N16 million Naira.

In order to ensure smooth and effective execution of the contract, the businessman deployed his two bank accounts with DIAMOND BANK, for the purpose of receiving various sums of money for the project.

However, in the course of executing the ID card contract, the then Branch Manager of the Bank in Owerri, at their No 6 ITEM Street Ikenegbu Layout Office, Reverend Festus Azara allegedly introduced (for official purpose) the then Special Assistant to the Imo State Administrator (Governor), Reverend Ugochukwu Unachukwu to Prince Amobi Ugochukwu.

In his Petition to the EFCC, Prnce Amobi Ugochukwu made a damning revelation. Hear him, “DIAMOND BANK cajoled and forced me into making the said Reverend Ugochukwu Unachukwu a co-signatory to my Company’s account, where the money for the execution of the contract was lodged into, with a fictitious name – “Uzoma Onuoha”. When I protested why Reverend Ugochukwu Unachukwu should bear a fictitious name to be a co-signatory in my company’s account, I was told that it was for security reasons and that DIAMOND BANK had been doing so for many officials of State Governments in Nigeria.’’
