Protest at Senator Ubah’s residence: Heritage Bank urges staff not to be intimidated

By Kayode Tokede

The management of Heritage Bank Plc has declared its support for the peaceful protest of the bank’s staff held at the Abuja residence of Senator Andy Uba over his indebtedness to the financial institution.

Some staff of Heritage Bank on Monday protested at the Abuja residence of Senator Andy Ubah over debts they claimed he has owed the bank for some years.

One of them, whose voice was captured in the video, said, “We are at the Abuja residence of Senator Andy Ubah for a peaceful meeting because he has been owing the bank for a couple of years now.”

However, the Managing Director of the bank, Ifie Sekibo, in a message shared with the Bank’s staff, explained that the bank did not deliberately put the staff’s action on social media but the development is part of the bank’s effort to prioritize the recovery of all its outstanding loans.

Sekibo stated, “Consequently, the recent visit of our colleagues was in line with our objective and solely to address the indebtedness of the customer.

“I encourage us all to be bold and tenacious, fiercely engaging the market and refusing all forms of intimidation, which the current phase may present.”
