Civil servants in Ogun stormed a branch of Unity Bank in Abeokuta to protest the alleged diversion of their N134million investment fund.
With placards in their hands, the aggrieved senior civil servants said: “Funds Not Safe In Unity Bank,” “Unity Bank Stole Our Money”, “No Refund, No Retreat, No Surrender.” “Sometimes last year, we got an emergency call that Unity Bank, Abeokuta branch is defrauding customers and because we are a union that is proactive, we rose to the occasion and instructed Unity bank to transfer some amount of money from our Investment account to another account.
“We have interacted with them many times, we have contacted them, we have written several letters, not less than six or seven and Unity bank did not respond.“The issue started as early as February this year and as we speak, they have not returned our money to us. We cannot continue to wait for Unity bank to be free. They have admitted that they have defrauded us. Records are there to show that in our office. They admitted that the money is there and they will transfer as soon as possible.
