Customer’s negligence: First Bank to pay doctor N7m

MD First Bank, Bisi Onasanya

Few days after armed robbers killed four, including a corps member at one of its branches in Ekiti State, the Owerri Division of the Appeal Court has upheld the judgment of an Imo State High Court awarding a sum of N7m in damages against First Bank Plc in favour of a medical practitioner, Dr. Arinze Anyagham.

The medical practitioner had in 2010 sued First Bank before the lower court for “actionable negligence”.
