We Sealed Banks For Observing IPOB’s Sit-At-Home – Imo
The Imo State Government on Tuesday explained the reason behind its decision to seal some banks in Owerri, the state capital.
Scores of bank customers were left stranded on Tuesday as the officials of the Imo State Government shut all the banks along Bank Road in the state capital.
It was learnt that operatives of the Owerri Capital Development Authority sealed the banks.
Some of the financial institutions that were sealed by the state government were Access Bank, Polaris Bank, First Bank, Eco Bank and United Bank for Africa.
But the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba said that the state government locked the banks because they frustrated customers on Monday by refusing to open for transactions.
Asked when the government would unseal the banks, Emelumba said it was left for OCDA and the banks to determine.
