PROPHET OMALE VS FCMB: COURT TO RULE ON ABUJA PROPHET’S 5BIL NAIRA DEFAMTION SUIT TODAY
AGENCY REPORT
A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court will, on Tuesday, deliver judgement in the N5 billion defamation suit Prophet Emmanuel Omale, Founder of the Divine Hand of God Prophetic Ministry, Abuja, filed against First City Monument Bank (FCMB).
Omale had filed the suit over the alleged false information that the bank passed to the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) on a “suspicious credit inflow”.
Omale accused the bank of negligently breaching the fiduciary duty of care in its banker-customer relationship with his client.Adam Nuru, former ma
naging director of First City Monument Bank (FCMB), had told the Presidential Committee on Audit of Recovered Assets (PCARA) that the bank made an error of posting N573 million into the church’s account.
The committee had accused Ibrahim Magu, former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), of using Omale to launder funds abroad.
However, the bank later clarified that there was a system error that affected Omale’s account but no transfer was made.
In a letter to Omale, the bank expressed regrets and published a public apology in three national newspapers as demanded by Omale’s lawyer.
“It is our hope that the public apology has assuaged the grievances of your client, having seen that the error was indeed not borne out of any malice towards them. Kindly extend our good wishes to your client, whilst assuring you of our warm professional regards,” the letter read.
