Innoson through a Writ of Fifa has taken over GTB – What this really means

The Chairman of Innoson Group, Dr Innocent Chukwuma, has through a Writ of FiFa taken over Guaranty Trust Bank PLC.

Through a Writ of FiFa, Innoson has taken over GTB over an 8.7 billion naira debt, as the Supreme Court  dismissed the bank’s appeal.

What this means

A writ of Fifa, simply means that Innoson motors has been given authority by the court to seize and take over any property belonging to GTB, which they find sufficient to defray the sum owed them.

Some reactions from Nigerian Twitter users over the issue

Innoson Motors VS @gtbank. What is GTB corporate communications doing about this? Time to role out your crisis communication plan or don't the bank have one? Are they not going to take charge of the narrative?
Damage control is expensive. #InnosonTakesOverGTB

Education seems to be a serious matter in Nigeria. Innoson Motors obtains a Writ of FiFa against Gtbank, Twitter Nigeria says #InnosonTakesOverGTB

GTB could have prevented#InnosonTakesOverGTB if only they had paid Innoson Motors the debt when it was still less than 300million naira. Now it has escalated. And the interest is still growing every month.

Lesson: Avoid reckless debts.

The only thing Innoson Motors is taking over are assets that will satisfy the N8.8bn debt. Innoson will value GTB assets and sell them. They won’t touch your money.

Don’t allow false narratives to take over your interpretation of facts.

Instead of GTBank Nigeria inviting INNOSON motors to amicably settle their differences, GTB used EFCC to arrest & harras INNOSON CEO. Now hunted has taken over 2 GTB branches (Awka & Nenwi) in a Supreme court landmark judgement.
