The management of United Bank for Africa, UBA, has denied any involvement in the recent failed military coup in Turkey.
A terse statement by the bank’s Head of Communications, Mr. Charles Aigbe, reads, “UBA is aware of the on-going and spurious media speculation linking our institution to recent events in Turkey.
“In light of this, we believe it is necessary to categorically state that UBA has no involvement in or connection to these accusations, which are clearly false.
“We remain focused and firmly committed to delivering on our strategy to build Africa’s premier banking institution.”
Prompt News Online reports that a Turkey-based newspaper, Yenisafak, had reported that some of those arrested in connection with the July 15, 2016 failed coup plot had told their interrogators that UBA Plc and a United States of America Army General, John F. Campbell, were responsible for the funding of the coup plot
