However, in a recent news published by Vanguard, GTB has raised the alarm that Innoson was wrongly executing Court judgement by sealing some of their branches in the Southeast.
The Bank in a press statement on Friday stated that the issue it has in contention with the manufacturing conglomerate was with account of Nigeria Custom Service that is domicile with the bank and not against GT bank as an entity.
The bank however, pledged to continue providing best-in-class customer experience service to its valued customers, noting that there was no cause for panic.
