WEMA BANK PLC.-RESPONSE ON MEDIA REPORT
* Wema Bank has publicly rejected allegations regarding its acquisition of Banana Island properties, asserting that the properties were lawfully acquired as part of recovery efforts for an outstanding debt owed by the defunct Gulf Bank. * The bank contends that the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) is precluded from contesting these actions because the NDIC previously admitted to Gulf Bank's indebtedness, acknowledged the property relinquishments, and participated in settling the final financial shortfall. * While the NDIC has initiated legal proceedings against Wema Bank concerning these legacy transactions, Wema Bank states it will defend its position in court and refrain from further public comment on the active litigation.
