Officials of WEMA bank arrived Akure, Ondo State capital on Monday morning in a commando style raid of debtors houses. The officials, who came from the bank’s Lagos headquarters went straight to the homes and offices of the debtors.
Their operation was successful as they recovered about N75 million within five hours of the operation.
The team leader, who declined to reveal his name to journalists, said their target was N250 million and they will make sure they hit this target by every means possible.
He added that the team will visit every part of the state to realise the objective.
“When we left Lagos, we were given a target of about 250 million, which is what is owed our bank in Ondo State, and there was a condition attached to it (target) and it was, don’t come back without the money. And we intend to fulfil this any way we can.”
The bankers were led by stern-looking, heavily armed security operatives.
One of the bankers said the operation, which will cover many states, is meant to limit the debt portfolio of the bank.
