Skye Bank branches in Osogbo resume operations

skye-bank-plcThe three branches of Skye Bank Plc allegedly invaded by the agents of Tuns Farms Limited in Osogbo, Osun State, have resumed normal banking operations.

Tuns Farms had allegedly led its agents to disrupt the affected branches’ operations in breach of the judicial process as appeal notices and stay of execution orders were ignored.

Customers, had at the weekend, trooped into the branches for normal banking transactions, just as the bank reassured them of continued and uninterrupted services.

Meanwhile, the bank has described as an abuse of the judicial process, the action of the bank’s customer, Tuns Farms Limited.

The bank said though the judgement was in favour of the bank, it should not have disrupted its operations since there is pending Notice of appeal and application for stay of execution filed and served by the bank.

In a statement from the bank, Tuns Farm abused the judicial process by approaching the High Court of Oshogbo whose judgment has been appealed against, for an enforcement order on the bank, and procured a writ of attachment, even when the High Court clearly no longer had any jurisdiction over the matter, the case having been transferred to the Appellate Courts.

The bank was awaiting the hearing date for the application when Tuns Farms suddenly invaded its banking offices in Oshogbo “with thugs, criminals and area boys to disrupt its operations, and loot its assets.”

The bank has taken necessary steps to protest the obvious criminal action by the company to the relevant law enforcement agencies.
