Union Bank Sale: CBN Investigators Rejects Lemo’s Reschedule Request

As investigations continue into the sale of Union Bank, the Office of the Special Central Bank of Nigeria Investigator has rejected a request by the Chairman of Titan Trust Bank Limited, Babatunde Lemo, for rescheduling the December 28, 2023, meeting with investigators till January 7.

The investigator warned that the failure of Lemo and other major shareholders of Titan Trust Bank to attend today’s meeting may lead to the forfeiture of their shareholding and interests in Titan Trust Bank and Union Bank Nigeria Plc.

This was contained in a letter to the Titan Trust Bank chairman dated December 27, 2023, and signed by the Head of Operations, Office of the Special Investigator, Eloho Okpoziakpo, a Deputy Commissioner of Police.

The letter was in response to a letter from Lemo’s lawyer seeking a shift of today’s meeting until January.

The investigator also turned down a proposal by Lemo that the major shareholders of Titan Trust Bank, Mr Cornelius Vink and Rahul Savara, should be given seven days to prove their purported ownership of Titan Trust Bank and Union Bank of Nigeria or forfeit the shares to the Federal Government.

The Special Investigator, Jim Obazee, had summoned Lemo, a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, in connection with the acquisition of Union Bank of Nigeria Plc by Titan Trust Bank.

The Titan Trust Bank chairman was directed to report to the Department of Force Intelligence opposite the Force headquarters, Shehu Shagari Way, Abuja, on Thursday (today), where he will be grilled by a team of detectives probing the UBN acquisition.

Lemo was further instructed to come along with Vink and Savara to meet with the team of special investigators.

All Unlinked SIM Cards to Be Totally Disconnected by Feb. 28, 2024

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has directed telecommunications operators to implement full blockage of all subscribers identification module (SIM) cards not linked to national identification numbers (NINs) by February 28, 2024.

The operators, including MTN, Airtel, Globacom, 9mobile, among others have been lettered to carry out the exercise as directed.

Telecoms operators in Nigeria have about 220 million subscriptions, of which MTN has 85 million; Glo, 61 million; Airtel, 60 million and 9mobile, 13 million.

The mandatory NIN-SIM Linkage exercise began in December 2020 as directed by the Federal Government. The telecoms operators have already lost over 20 million subscriptions as some subscribers abandoned their lines. However, operators, with several promo packages, including free airtime incentives, recovered some lines as more Nigerians registered for NIN.

However, findings showed that about 10 million are yet to be recovered. The new directive might cost operators more subscriptions.

In a letter sent to its shareholders, and made available to journalists, yesterday, MTN disclosed that it received a formal directive from the NCC to implement full network barring on all phone lines for which the subscribers have not submitted their NINs as well as those whose NINs are unverified.

MTN said this was part of an industry-wide directive that requires phone lines for which the subscribers have not submitted their NINs to be barred on or before February 28, 2024.

The firm explained that about NINs that have been submitted but not verified, such lines are to be barred on or before March 29, 2024, where five or more lines are linked to an unverified NIN. Similarly, it disclosed that where less than five lines are linked to an unverified NIN, such lines are to be barred on or before April 15, 2024.

“All affected subscribers must be verified (biometrics and biodata) before their lines are unbarred,” MTN stated.

The telecommunications firm explained that this is a follow-up to the NCC’s directive on April 4, 2022, requiring operators to restrict outgoing calls (one-way barring) for subscribers whose lines are not associated with NINs.
