The Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, has described as false, mischievous and malicious the circulation of news and social media with respect to a purported directive by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to the Bank to make payments to one of its debtor Customers.
In a statement the bank urged its customers and the general public to disregard the the news as nothing could be further from the truth, denying knowledge of any directive or Order issued by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to the Bank to make any payment to any of its debtor Customers.
“The Bank as a highly responsible corporate citizen will in accordance with its culture and tradition refrain from making comments about on-going litigation matters and will continue to focus on using legal means to recover its bad debts. It must be emphasised that the Bank remains undeterred in its recovery drive against recalcitrant debtors.
We again reiterate that there is no iota of truth in the falsehood being peddled by desperate and mischievous elements and the General Public should disregard same in its entirety.
The Bank remains committed to providing best-in-class customer experience to all its valued Customers”, the statement said.
