A Bank Managing Director has almost ended up with fatal injuries after being attacked by angry customers who were showing their grievances.
One Mr Kingsley Ubenyi, the Managing Director of Kesley Mega Micro-Finance Bank, Enugu is currently thanking his stars for a narrow esape from death. It was the timely intervention of the Enugu State Police Command prevented him from being lynched by the bank’s aggrieved customers on Friday.
According to Reporters, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Ebere Amaraizu, said that the rescue of the bank boss came as a result of prompt intervention of a police patrol team after a security tip-off by some members of the public.
He said reports reaching the police indicated that hundreds of aggrieved customers of the bank were seen striking the managing director, who was forced to sit in his vehicle, which was later damaged by the irate crowd.

“The aggrieved customers maintained that they are customers of the micro-finance bank and that despite repeated efforts to withdraw their money in their savings accounts with the bank, no light was seen at the end of the tunnel.
“Not long after, a meeting between the bank MD and the customers was convened at De Dome event centre, New Haven, Enugu, where the bank boss tried to explain the difficulties faced by his bank over the payment of customers’ money.
“This did not go down well with the aggrieved customers, who got violent and descended heavily on him before the intervention of the police operatives,’’ he said.
Amaraizu, however, said the aggrieved customers were advised to be law-abiding and to seek redress by taking the lawful step to access their monies. “The managing director is currently receiving treatment at a nearby hospital,’’
he said at the time of writing this report.
