The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has debunked claims of investigating EcoBank over alleged extortion from Wilben Trade.
Reacting to a said statement purportedly issued by the apex bank, the CBN, through it’s official X handle, dismissed the post, labelling it as misleading, fake and not from it.
“This information is misleading and not affiliated with the Central Bank of Nigeria. Please be guided!” CBN wrote.
Meanwhile, the fake statement alleged that the CBN launched investigation into EcoBank Nigeria over claims of abusive proceeding and communication against Wilben Trade.
EcoBank had allegedly accused Wilben Trade of fraudulent transaction- a case which had been in court since 2022.
