Wife of Adam Nuru, the controversial Managing Director of First City Monument Bank (FCMB), identified as Hauwa, has allegedly concluded plans to divorce him.
Citing infidelity, family sources said Hauwa had packed out of Nuru’s house and has likely informed her lawyer to prepare divorce papers.
“I know she has moved out. This case has gone beyond Moyo or the late Tunde. His own marriage is about to crash. The wife and her family are really giving him problems. They are ready to deal with him. The Moyo stuff is part one, he is currently facing another battle with his wife,” one of the sources told SaharaReporters.
Two weeks ago, the social media had been awash with allegations that Nuru had an affair with Moyo Thomas, a former FCMB employee, fathering two children with her.
It was also said that the alleged paternity fraud resulted in the death of Tunde Thomas, Moyo’s husband.
The deceased’s friends in a petition that went viral on social media, had claimed that Tunde died of depression after discovering that his supposed two children with Moyo were indeed for Nuru.
They called on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to urge Nuru’s employer, FCMB to sack him, and to investigate the allegation.
They claimed that Tunde suffered a stroke due to the experience but later recovered and thereafter met another lady whom he planned to marry.
Tunde was, however, said to have died two days before his relations and his fiancée’s family were scheduled to meet as is customary before marriages in Nigeria.
His fiancée was said to be pregnant at the time of his death.
“This is a case of gross misconduct based on ethical grounds and an unjustifiable economic oppression by the elite (Adam Nuru) against the underprivileged in the society,” the petition read.
“The MD has been doing everything possible to sweep this case under the carpet. We implore the Central Bank of Nigeria, as the apex regulator, and the board of FCMB to investigate this for the integrity of the bank and Nigerian banking industry.”
It would be recalled that the embattled Nuru has since been replaced by Mrs Yemisi Edun, who has since resumed as the Acting Managing Director of FCMB.
