FCMB Group MD Links to Death of Tunde Thomas, Husband of Married Staff He Fathered Her Kids

More than 400 people have reportedly signed a petition seeking the removal/sack of the Managing Director of FCMB Group, Adamu Nuru, following the death of Tunde Thomas, the husband of a married staff the MD reportedly impregnated and fathered her two kids.

Tunde Thomas died of depression a few months after his wife confessed that his supposed two kids were fathered by Adamu Nuru, her boss.

According to the petition, Tunde Thomas’s health deteriorated since the confession and only recovered from a stroke a few months before he got into a new relationship.

In the petition addressed to Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the FCMB’s board, the group described the death of Thomas as “an unjustifiable economic oppression by the elites against the less privileged in the society.”

They, therefore, called for a thorough investigation into the matter, saying Nuru has been working hard to sweep his “unethical conduct” under the carpet.

“This is a case of gross misconduct based on ethical grounds and an unjustifiable economic oppression by the elites (Adam Nuru) against the less privileged in the society,” it read.

“The MD has been doing everything possible to sweep this case under the carpet. We implore the Central Bank of Nigeria as the apex regulator and the board of FCMB to investigate this for the integrity of the bank and Nigerian banking industry.”

Tunde Thomas reportedly tried to move on as he later found someone he planned to marry and was expecting a child with, however, he had not completely recovered from his first marriage issues.

On December 16, Mr Tunde Thomas Died of cadiac arrest after returning home about two days before his introduction his heavily pregnant girlfriend.

Rafiu Mohammed, a staff of the bank who spoke on behalf of Diran Olojo, FCMB’s spokesman, described the petition as mere allegation.

Mohammed said “Assuming there was a DNA report that said there was indeed an affair between them and the children belong to the MD, that’s an evidence. But so far, there’s none. Also, has any evidence established his (Thomas’s) death was caused by our MD? Anyone can suffer cardiac arrest,” he said.

“It’s a mere allegation with no evidence or fact to back it up. That’s the issue. But if they come up with an evidence, we will respond. Also, the petition is going through the CBN, does the apex bank settle personal or marital issues?

“The person in question has died. When he was alive, he didn’t take up the matter himself but when he died, some people are claiming to be fighting for him.

“Based on the said petition, the deceased was about to marry another person which implied that he had also moved from what transpired during his first marriage.”
