First Banks former CEO Onasanya refutes role in alleged N12 billion fraud
A one-time managing director of First Bank of Nigeria Plc (now FBN Holdings) Bisi Onasanya has denied playing a role in the alleged N12.3 billion advanced fee fraud leveled against him and others during his time at the lender.
In a statement released by his communication advisor, Michael Osunnuyi, Mr Onasanya dismissed the accusation as “baseless,” and “unfounded” noting the unease it has caused among family, associates and friends.
“Our attention has been drawn to allegations and charge sheet circulating on social media suggesting Dr Bisi Onasanya’s involvement in a purported commercial loan controversy at First Bank 12 years ago,” Mr Osunnuyi said.
“His stellar reputation of integrity, built over four decades of impeccable professional service, cannot and will not be tarnished by these false allegations and incorrect charges.”
