The Bank MD, Nnandi Okonkwo, was whisked away for allegedly helping former controversial Petroleum tsarina, Diezani Allison-Madueke, launder $115 million.

The leading commercial bank has reacted to the picking up their head honcho by the anti-corruption body for failing to report the receipt of the disputed $155M matter to the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, NFIU, as required by law.
The bank in their statement say they are cooperating fully with the authorities on the investigation and are hopeful of speedy resolution to the issue.

They had better resolve it before the proverbial water pass their garri, the customers are watching.
