Heritage Bank clarifies reports claiming staff stole N49 billion of customers' fund

  • Heritage Bank has dismissed allegations of diversion of funds by a staff member, as reported by online media
  • The defamatory report claims the sum of N49 billion of customers’ funds was diverted
  • The bank’s management said the article used unrelated facts and conjecture to create a fictitious narrative

The allegations of fund diversion by staff members, as reported online, have been firmly denied by the executive management of Heritage Bank Plc, who categorize these claims as “wrong and defamatory”.

It would be recalled that an online news platform had last week raised an alarm claiming that Heritage Bank’s Head of IT diverted N49 billion into separate accounts and has soon disappeared.
