The bank gave this reassurance, through its Managing Director/Chief Executive
Officer, Ademola Adebise, while reacting to a recent publication in the media
purportedly alleging a dip in its liquidity status following the unaudited report for
2020 with the MD/CEO saying the report is only a deliberate campaign to create
panic among its stakeholders using false news, and therefore should be
discountenanced,

He said, “The strength and viability of financial institutions are not measured on the isolated performance of one outlier year. The said report based a lot of its false
allegations on the unaudited 2020 financial year. But that was a year when COVID-
19 induced a lockdown and a disruption of such magnitude that negatively impacted
businesses, industries and economies the world over.

 

 

“Wema Bank has continually exhibited not just resilience, but admirable viability
over the years with a 30.95% increase in earnings recorded in just 2019. Then came
2020, and in spite of the difficulties, we succeeded in achieving impressive results in key areas such as net earnings from fees and commissions, while growing the
Bank’s asset base significantly.
“That’s not all, customer credibility in the bank was also accentuated with a massive
increase in customer deposits over the previous year. This is an audacious show of
confidence from the customers of Wema Bank

 

 

 

“These performance metrics amongst others, are testament to our smart balance
sheet optimization approach which will be affirmed by the time the audited and
official 2020 Financial Report is released in the coming weeks “

The CEO also referenced how well the Bank’s performance in the said 2020 makes it
one of the best performing financial institutions in the land.
“We won the BusinessDay award for the Best SME Bank of the Year for 2020. A
recognition of our unrivalled support for small and medium scale businesses
through loans, business advisory, and ease of payments and transactions.
“Also, the recently published 2020 KPMG Customer Experience Survey, showed
Wema Bank making significant growth in the retail category, climbing up ten (10)
places from the previous year to 2nd position, with an above industry average of
74.6% Customer Experience score. This achievement is a mark of dedication to
excellent customer service and refreshing support for all our customer categories.”
The KPMG Customer Experience Survey grades banks over six universal pillars of
Personalization, Integrity, Expectations, Resolution, Time & Effort and Empathy, and
Wema Bank has showed a mastery of these pillars and have been outstanding at all
of them.
Furthermore, in line with the bank’s sustainability goal of developing digital
solutions for societal impact, it successfully organized the second edition of
Hackaholics, a radical gathering of developers, web designers and creative thinkers
to develop solutions around key themes of Education, Health, Agriculture, Fintech,
Gaming & Betting.
These are intentional measures put in place to sustain an institution’s legacy of
economic evolution and social inclusion.
“We are a responsible corporate citizen with empathy as a core pillar of our
personality. Thus, we stood by the nation in the trying times of the COVID-19
pandemic with significant support for governments at both the federal and state
levels.
“Particularly to prevent severe food shortages and align with the SDG of Zero
Hunger, we supported State Governments with food palliatives donation which
alleviated the conditions of over 80,000 households of the most vulnerable
segments of the population.”

With all these financial and non-financial performance metrics, it is not in doubt that
Wema Bank is not only standing strong, it is also among the best performing
financial institutions in Nigeria, in 2020.
“I’ll take this opportunity to commend our customers for their sustained trust in us.
A support that has remained a critical pillar of our stability and growth over the
years, especially as we celebrate our 76th anniversary.
For us as a responsible and visionary organization, we are staying committed to our
corporate purpose of making life easier and better through innovation and digital-
driven lifestyle solutions for Nigerians and their businesses.” Adebise concluded.

The lawyers of Afriq Arbitrage System, Barr. Obeten and Barr. Henry have called out the Coalition of Civil Society for Good Governance led by Comrade Okpanachi Jacob as Purveyors of falsehood.

This is not unconnected to their ungodly collaboration with individuals like Prince Humble Eteng, Michael Okoh, Okoi Daniels, Engineer Awajioma who have been slammed with a ten million dollar Lawsuit for nefarious activities to injure the longstanding reputation the organisation has maintained on charges bothering on cyber bullying, attempt to life and property, lies and unlawful incitement and instigation against the CEO of the company , Jesam Micheal, his family and organisation.

 

In a global conference on Tuesday, April 16th, 2024, the legal representatives described their actions as inappropriate, unfounded and a campaign of calumny to malign the integrity of the organisation and management.

 

 

According to Barr. Obeten the matter is in court and the security agencies have picked Abayomi Olusesan who has admitted to committing the heinous crime of stealing investors funds to the tune of $87m. So why accuse the CEO, Jesam Micheal of defrauding the company of the said amount?

 

Speaking further, Barr Henry reiterated their stand to take legal actions against the group for being biassed despite knowing the truth and for misleading the general public by allowing themselves to be used by agents of falsehood.

 

In conclusion, the CEO of Afriq Arbitrage System, Jesam Micheal wondered why a reputable group like CCSGG could be used by Prince Humble Eteng, Michael Okoh and others. He showcased the official court documents which confirmed that Abayomi admitted stealing the investors fund to the tune of $87m which he said was also captured in video evidence. He revealed that some of the properties he bought with part of the money has been collected, remaining the main money which he promised to return to the company. However, after being granted bail, he reneged on his promises and was picked up again by the relevant authorities.

Sadly, his cohorts, Prince Humble who is not even an investors connived with MICHEAL OKOH, PRINCE HUMBLE ETENG,OKOI DENOCK, TOCHUKWU NWOYE, DINGCHI YARLING, Engineer Awajioma and Others to fabricate all sorts of lies against Jesam and AAS.

 

” We will not take the laws into our hands but they should be ready to face the wrath of the law of the land. These are the same people who dragged us to the security agencies and when we got there with facts they ran away and became fugitives, Out of frustrations, they devised a kangaroo world press conference to disseminate all manners of fabricated lies and deceits”

It would be recalled that few days after series of cyber bullying against the CEO of Afriq Arbitrage System, Jesam Micheal and his Family by MICHEAL OKOH, PRINCE HUMBLE ETENG,OKOI DENOCK in collaboration with one TOCHUKWU NWOYE, DINGCHI YARLING, Godwin, Benjamin Uwanga and Findins, Jesam escaped assassination attempt as gunmen numbering over ten, armed with sophisticated weapons invaded his lounge in Lagos seeking for him.

 

Afriq Arbiritage System, Slams $10 million Lawsuit Against Micheal Okoh, Prince Humble Eteng, Hajj Ibrahim, Engineer Awajioma and Others (Video)

 

Information available to us revealed that when the hardened criminals invaded the lounge on Friday, April 5th, 2024 where Jesam was billed to address his workers, they were demanding for him and when they learnt he couldn’t make the meeting as expected, they descended on the staff and customers threatening to kill them in his stead. They also went away with the company’s properties such as laptops, equipment and gadgets of staffers and customers.

 

Micheal Okoh who has been ranting on Social media against the CEO of Afriq Arbiritage System has been exposed along with Prince Humble Eteng, Okoi Denock as partners in crime with Abayomi oluwasesan who is in prison for defrauding the financial platform to the tune of $87 million dollars

 

According to reports, Micheal Okoh is an investor in AAS who has benefited from the scheme and has withdrawn over three thousand dollars which he never disclosed to his gullible followers until the evidence was uncovered and exposed to the community.

 

Aside from that, information revealed that Micheal Okoh, Prince Humble And Okoi Denock have been working in tandem with Abayomi in plotting the loot from AAS and threatening the life of Jesam Michael and his family. In a series of life threatening messages the plotters swear to eliminate him and his family for standing on the path of truth, justice and for arresting Abayomi in recovering the loot. Also, these revelations are not unconnected to the fact that these people engineered Abayomi not to return investors money back to the community.

 

However, the long arm of the law will soon reach them as Abayomi who has willingly confessed to the heinous crime he committed to the company is arrested and taken to court where he is Remanded and Micheal Okoh and his cohorts we learnt are also on the radar of the security operatives for collaboration and cyber bullying.

 

 

 

Sadly, the threat to life of the CEO and his family by these people should not be taken lightly as just as Mr Micheal Okoh said in his video that he will bring him down, same day, gunmen were sent to invade AAS lounge on the same day he was to address his workers for the year.

 

 

According to the security officer of the company, the ugly incident has never happened before on any of their investments until this brazen threats from Mr Okoh and others.
