Nigerian Bank Allegedly Linked To Failed Turkey Coup FINALLY Opens Up

Nigerian Bank United Bank of Africa (UBA) has officially denied involvement in the failed coup attempt in Turkey on July 15.

Yenisafak, a Turkish newspaper, had alleged that UBA played a key role in the distribution of funds for the facilitation of the failed coup.
However, Charles Aigbe, divisional head, marketing and corporate relations of UBA, in a statement said the bank was neither “involved” nor “connected” to the coup attempt, which ended in futility.

The statement reads: “We aware of the ongoing and spurious media speculation linking our institution to recent events in Turkey. In light of this, we believe it is necessary to categorically state that UBA has no involvement in or connection to these accusations, which are clearly false.

“We remain focused and firmly committed to delivering on our strategy to build Africa’s premier banking institution.”
