Fayose Closes Ecobanks And GTBanks In Ado-Ekiti Over Taxation

Gov Ayodele Fayose has allegedly closed down all branches of Ecobank and GTB in Ado Ekiti today over non-payment of Taxes.

Hundreds of customers went home disappointed in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, on Wednesday as the state government shut two banks over alleged non-remittance of withholding tax.


Officials of the Board of Internal Revenue (BIR) stormed Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) and Ecobank, both located on Secretariat Road and closed them down.

The closure which caught the bank staff and customers unawares saw banking operations ending abruptly.
