First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has named Yemisi Edun as its acting managing director following Adam Nuru’s paternity scandal.
Before her appointment which is subject to confirmation by the Central Bank of Nigeria, Edun held the position of executive director.
The bank had in a public notice on Tuesday said Nuru proceeded on leave. It also said the move would guarantee the sanctity of the investigation against allegation of unethical behaviour against him.
Nuru is being accused of having two children with a former FCMB employee Moyo Thomas who was married to Tunde Thomas. The alleged relationship, his accusers say, led to the death of Mr Thomas.
