Jaiz Bank says it submitted some documents relating to accounts opened by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation to help the agency in its investigations of the activities of the Ministry at the request of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and denies arrest of its Managing Director, Haruna Musa.
The bank in a statement insist that the interaction was very cordial and the MD immediately resumed back to his duties.
“It’s instructive to state that Jaiz Bank in October 2023 was among the financial institutions that were selected by the Ministry as a participating financial institution for the various intervention programs of the Federal Government of Nigeria after a competitive bid, in line with the FGN procurement act”, the bank notes.
The Bank states further that it was formerly instructed to open a project account by the Ministry but is yet to receive any funding into the account.
Jaiz Bank Plc said the clarification became necessary following headlines in some sections of the media particularly social media platforms insinuating that some banks’ MDs including that of Jaiz have been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), affirming that it remains committed to contributing to the growth and development of the Nigerian economy through the provision of alternative financing options in an ethical and professional manner.
