FCMB: Allow Me Grieve My Husband In Peace, Moyo Thomas Lashes Out

The ongoing paternity fraud scandal involving the embattled Group Managing Director of First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has received a tinge of clarification as Moyo Thomas, a former employee of the bank who has been in the eye of this storm has finally cleared the air regarding the highly contentious matter.

As earlier reported by EkoHotBlog, Moyo Thomas became a household name on social media following the death of her ex-husband, Mr. Tunde Thomas who allegedly died of depression after being told by Moyo that their two children were products of an illicit office romance with her boss, FCMB GMD, Mr. Adam Nuru.

The renowned banker has since been placed on a compulsory leave by the bank while investigation has also been launched to uncover the vagaries surrounding this keenly contested controversy.

In a statement signed personally by Moyo herself, the former employee of the named commercial bank disowned viral media reports that she had informed her ex-husband that their two children were not his, and that the late Tunde Thomas had maintained a smooth relationship with his two children until his sudden death.

She slammed the viral media reports which according to her have unfairly splashed her children’s images all over the internet and asked to be allowed to mourn her ex-husband in peace.

The statement reads, “I write in reference to all the allegations and accusations that have recently been making the rounds on the internet and various social media platforms. I have refrained from responding to this matter for various reasons, one of which is to preserve Tunde’s memories who departed to be with his maker on December 16, 2020. Memories, not only to me, but to his children, who are still young, and to everybody who had a relationship with him.

“Just like any marriage, Tunde and I had a lot of differences in our marriage, some of which even led to police intervention. But I remain committed to keeping only positive memories of him. No one can ever understand what transpired between us or what each of us experienced in the marriage; as they say, it is he who wears the shoes that knows where it pinches. In all of it, I never for once wished him bad. His untimely and sudden death is still a shock to me as it is to many others.

“On no occasion did I ever tell him he was not the father of our two children. Therefore, it is deliberate falsehood and certainly malicious to allege and insinuate that I informed him that the children are not his. The children still bear his name. Only God knows why he died in an untimely period. It is not in my place, or anyone’s place to play God and talk with certainty about the cause of his death, without proven medical facts.

“Despite our separation, we never allowed our differences to affect the relationships we respectively have with the children. He still had conversations with the children like any father until his sudden and unfortunate death. It is quite sad and disheartening to see the pictures of these innocent children splashed all over the internet with very disparaging and weird comments.

“I do wish his family and friends the fortitude to bear the unfortunate loss and I ask that we all be allowed to grieve his loss in peace. He has now been laid to rest and we implore all and sundry to please respect our privacy and allow those grieving his loss, including the children and I, to do so in peace.”
