The Managing Director of Kesley Mega Micro-Finance Bank, Mr Kingsley Ubenyi, was saved from being lynched by aggrieved customers by the Police Command in Enugu.
The spokesman for the Police Command in Enugu, Mr Ebere Amaraizu, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the bank boss was rescued following a tip-off from members of the public.
Amaraizu said the incident happened at about 5pm on Wednesday at the De-Dome Event Centre in New Haven, Enugu.
“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 customers and the managing director 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 (the explanation) 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.
He added, “The managing director is currently receiving treatment at a nearby hospital.’’
