Heritage Bank’s Debt Recovery Agents Storm Andy Uba’s Residence Over N3bn Indebtedness

Debt Recovery Agents from Heritage Bank Plc on Monday staged a peaceful protest at the Abuja residence of Senator Andy Uba to demand the payment of a loan he took from the bank some years ago.

Senator Andy Uba, who is representing Anambra South Senatorial District in the Senate, is said to have been indebted to Heritage bank to the tune of N3bn.

The protesting workers, who were seen in a video footage, wore the T-shirts of the bank with some of them carrying placards.

In the video which was made available to THE WHISTLER, a voice could be heard saying that they came to the residence of the Senator to demand the payment of a loan which he allegedly took some years ago.

The man making the video who appears to be one of the protesters said, “Today is Monday June 21, 2021 and we have here staff of Heritage Bank Plc Abuja and we are in front of Senator Andy Uba’s hose in Abuja.

“Senator Andy Uba has been owing the bank for a couple of years now and we are here for a very peaceful meeting with him to ask him to kindly repay those loans because those are depositors funds.

“Those monies if they are not repaid will throw the number of people you see here with their families out of work and we know the situation of things in the economy and if these number of people are thrown out of job, we know what it means.

“So, we are here to appeal to him to kindly pay up this money so that this people will not lose their job and of course the bank becomes a going concern.

While the amount which the Senator is owing was not stated in the video, THE WHISTLER gathered that the Uba is indebted to the bank to the tune of N3bn

A top official of Heritage bank told THE WHISTLER that the Senator took the loan of N3bn from the bank few years ago.

The official who pleaded not to be named because of the sensitive nature of the matter, explained that the bank had been making several efforts to make the Senator pay the loan. However, he said the efforts have not yielded the desired results.

Another top official of the bank told THE WHISTLER that those that carried out the protest at the residence of the Senator are debt recovery agents of the bank.
