Good day brothers
My company got falsely defamed by a Nigerian bank some time in August this year . They implied that the company took a Loan from them which we didn’t know anything about . They came to our office and even said we defrauded them in front of our customers

By the time the bank
confirmed that we are innocent of the accusations they leveled against us , we were already 90% out of business

Though we are filling the issue in court , but I didn’t stop paying my creditors and customers who trusted us with there money

The pressure got to a point where I started selling out our properties, farms and company vans under “Force sale” to pay these debts

I didn’t run , I kept on selling and paying to the extent of selling personal belongings too

Everything got worse even to the extent that the live of my remaining staffs are in severe danger . Our creditors has harassed and beaten them up severally

Though I want to keep paying the remaining creditors down to the last kobo , but our lives are in danger since we didn’t close our head office in order to keep the hopes of our remaining creditors alive

Just yesterday , another worker resigned after she was harassed by an aggrieved customer .

We are left with just 3 out of 15 staffs from the time of the banks defamation till now

Kindly advice us please

First there is no way your company will take a loan from the bank and the management isn't aware of. Secondly the twist of fate boils down your customers are not confident in your line of trade or investors have little or no faith in your company progression.
Sometimes if you venture into a SMe, it should be about how to raise funds, it could ve committed this clients by signing MoU binding your contract together. It builds trust and resilience to wade off potential rumors whilst performing your duty as a legal and bona-fide good citizen of Nigeria. Report the issue to police and get the messenger arrested.

Company wey no get name. Even the business wey you dey no clear for the post. If you no wan mention the company, at least, mention your line of business.

I no sabi wetin I go talk.

Sorry sir , but does the name of the company make any difference here please ??

We are filling the case in court and we wouldn’t want the defendants to know what we are up to or what we have in mind

Thanks for your concerns anyways

The company's name or at least the company's line of business will answer so many questions regarding your claim. Why not keep the matter away from Nairaland until when you are done with the filing of the case? Your post is a half-baked bread that makes no complete sense.

You would have arrested the staff who came immediately, get a good lawyer not cut and nail as you are going against a bank, negotiate percentage of the settlement with the lawyer.

Vague story.

Yeye loan companies terrorising Nigerians. Rest Abeg

We need more information. I don't know how to address the issue. Better let the police steps in and y'all sign agreement on repayment of the loan or whatever funds they wanna kill you guys for o

since you already file the case in courts, go and wait for courts decision then

I don’t know what other advise you need when you can’t even list the name of your company or the type of business you do, besides how is even possible a bank will accuse you of taking a loan without backing it up with paper works to show as proof, this your story no follow jare
