The Peter Mbah-led administration in Enugu State has reportedly ordered the Guarantee Trust Bank Plc to vacate its state headquarters located long Ogui Road beside Our Saviour Institute of Science, Agriculture and Technology (OSISATECH), Polytechnic, Enugu within 24 hours for demolition without prior notice.

A top official of the Bank, who disclosed this to SaharaReporters on Monday evening, said that the state government brought bulldozers to demolish the bank on Monday without prior notice either from the Nigeria Railway Property, who is their landlord or the Enugu State government.

"We were surprised that while we were carried banking transactions on Monday afternoon, some officials of the state government rolled earth moving equipment to the property for demolition. The property was leased to the Bank by the Railway Property, a subsidiary of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) for 25 years of renewable lease.

"Bank is not built in a day, and you don't just wake up, see a site and start building a bank. There is a process which also involved the clearance from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). No fewer than 40 workers of the bank branch including security personnel will be displaced. And this is being without due regards to legal procedure."

Lamenting, the staff said that they had no secured place to locate the bank sensitive documents, computers and other electronic gadgets.

Meanwhile, the state government has demolished Our Saviour Institute of Science, Agriculture and Technology (OSISATECH) College of Education and Oha Micro-Finance Bank, ECOBANK Ogbete Main Market Branch, First City Monument Bank (FCMB) Ogbete Main Market Branch.

Governor Peter Mbah's administration is demolishing properties located in a 30,000 Square Meters or 30 hectares for the proposed Enugu Central Station.

Kudos. Development is a must, but you will not see the victim mentality people cry in their region.

How do you demolish a bank headquarter? Why is Enugu government demolishing Yoruba properties?

What did Yoruba people do wrong? We need to call on FBI, CIA, ICAN, CNN, to this injustice.

Where is Moghalu wife? Where is Eberechi Alade?

Do not invest in Enugu!!!

Development is not a must. How do you demolish a whole bank headquarters? A bank headquarters that was built with $2billion.

Same bank headquarters that employed 500,000 people. Where do you want the unemployed to go? Why is Mbah targeting Yoruba businesses?

All these lawlessness from the government.
Some mumus will now start asking why they didn't get genuine papers. Blaming the victim as usual.

How can a government that has been in power for up to a year give someone 24hours notice before demolition? Where is the humanity in humans?
