The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Fidelity Bank Plc, Mrs. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe has been summoned to appear before it by the House of Representative’s Committee investigating alleged falsified records and unremitted funds from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
The MD of Fidelity Bank when appearing next week Wednesday, the 1st of December, 2021,, is likely to testify before the committee in relation to the recovered looted cash traceable to Fidelity Bank from former Petroleum Minister Diezani Allison Madueke.
Fidelity Bank is reported to have received $40 million of the $153 million looted cash from the NNPC.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested former MD of
the bank, Nnamdi Okonkwo, this week for his role in the $153 million recovered
cash from former Petroleum Minister Allison Madueke, a report that the bank
chief attempted to conceal in the media, but there are significant signs that may
have been summoned to appear alongside the current MD, Onyeali-Ikpe to address
some of the committee’s concerns.
When many banks appeared before the House investigation panel to react to issues resulting from the recovered plundered cash from NNPC, the above resolution was passed.
In his ruling, the chairman of the committee, Hon. Adejero Adeogun, threatened to issue an arrest warrant if the MD of Fidelity fails or refuses to attend on the next postponed date of the committees seating.
