Customers and staff of Zenith Bank were on Thursday stranded in the various branches of the bank in Owerri, Imo State as police sealed up the financial institution.
It was gathered that the bank’s branches were locked up as a result of court’s order obtained by former Deputy Governor of the State, Eze Madumere.
The absolute Garnishee Order by the National Industrial Court in Owerri against the bank was in respect of the non-payment of entitlements of the former deputy governor.
All Times Global Magazine recalls that Madumere served as deputy governor during the tenure of Rochas Okorocha as governor of Imo State.
He was sworn in as deputy governor after the impeachment of his predecessor, Jude Agbaso, by the Imo House of Assembly.
Madumere also survived series of failed impeachment plots allegedly sponsored by his estranged friend and political associate, Okorocha.
