It is no longer news that Mary Apkobome, wife of popular comedian, Ali Baba is the new managing Director of Enterprise bank. Enterprise bank was recently acquired by Heritage bank.
Information reaching omega news is that, behind the scene, all is not actually well there are signs of worries and complain about the choice and appointment of Mary Apkobome as the Managing Director of the newly acquired Enterprise bank.
It is alleged her history with the defunct bank PHB is the main reason for all the rumors, worries and fears. Others have gone as far as even suggesting she is not all that competent for the role of managing director of Enterprise bank, and that she was linked to misappropriation of some sort during her days as one of the big players, one of the directors in the defunct bank PHB.
It is also alleged that, While she was at Bank PHB, Mary Apkobome was said to have been one of those who helped recapitalize the bank when it needed to inject fresh funds into it. However she quietly quit the bank without the usual fun fare that usually accompany someone of her status when leaving such an establishment where she was a real force to reckon with and not many understood the true story behind the drama of her exit from the defunct bank PHB.
Mary Akpobome was among those forced to resign from the bank quietly in 2008 when the heat was much that time. We learned from reliable source that the the main problem was tied or centered around a N10 billion loan deal gone sour. Mary Apkobome was said to have spearheaded the loan deal alongside other directors without a consensus agreement from the entire board. According to information we got, the loan was an unsecure loan, without proper documentation. Akpobome was not alone in the messy and shoddy deals that wrecked the bank; it is alleged other top directors of the bank were also involved in this loan deal that went out of hand, and that many of those top directors of that bank that time had different means of perpetrating their fraudulent deals.
It is actually this background, or history she had with the defunct bank PHB that is giving people cause to worry and people are hoping the story of bank PHB will not be replicated with enterprise bank.
