Do not be deceived by the new commercial which Diamond Bank is currently running about picking another bank if your bank does not care about your business.
Also, do not be fooled by their Public Relations gimmick which features comedian Bovi Ugboma, as it is just another avenue to draw more people into an already big net of scam.
Presently, the talk in town is about another multi-million naira fraud which has allegedly been uncovered at Diamond Bank Plc by one of their customers.
Embittered by this development, the said customer, Mr. Oluwamayowa Iseyemi, has gone to court to seek justice, as the matter presently sit in a High Court in Osogbo, Osun State. Information available to www.theoctopusnews.com has it that the customer of the bank is alleging that they tampered with his account without his ‘knowledge, consent and authority’.
For that reason, he’s claiming N25 million as special and general damages. According to his writ of summons, he had been enjoying credit facilities from the Osogbo branch of the bank since 2008. In February 2009 however, he applied for a personal loan of N3 million naira which was granted on February 23 via a letter with reference number FD/AO/AA/23/02/2009.
“The loan was repayable in two equal monthly instalments with an interest of 25 percent per annum and management fee of two percent flat per quarter in outstanding facility amount payable upfront”.
According to Iseyemi, the bank went contrary to their agreement along the line, tampering with his account in the process.
Maintaining that he had started re-paying the loan when sometime in 2011 he “uncovered a lot of manipulation by the defendant in his account”, he has now rushed to the court to seek redress. The matter came up for hearing recently and from what we were told, more shocking revelations will still follow. Diamond Bank Plc is one of Nigeria’s leading banks. Headed by Dr. Alex Otti, a first class graduate of the University of Port-Harcourt. This is not the first time a customer will be dragging the bank to court, as the name Diamond Bank now seem synonymous to fraud.
Efforts to reach Adekola, the spokesperson of the bank on his mobile phone 07032347410 was not possible as at press time, as he did not pick his call.
