The bank said Tuesday afternoon is a public statement signed by the Head of Communications
Charles Aigbe: “UBA is aware of the on-going and spurious media speculation linking our institution to recent events in Turkey. In light of this we believe it is necessary to categorically state that UBA has no involvement in or connection to these accusations, which are clearly false.
