The three branches of Skye Bank Plc that were sealed off following an order of the court in a case of alleged breach of N3 billion contract filed by Tuns Farms Nigeria Limited have resumed operations.
A statement from the bank at the weekend revealed this. It said that customers trooped into the branches for normal banking transactions, just as the bank re-assured them of continued and uninterrupted services following the action of the plaintiff.
Meanwhile, the bank maintained that the approach by Tuns Farms Limited was an abuse of the judicial process and lawlessness the action of the customer.
“Tuns Farm abused the judicial process by approaching the High Court of Oshogbo whose judgment has been appealed against, for an enforcement order on the bank, and procured a writ of attachment, even when the High Court clearly no longer had any jurisdiction over the matter, the case having been transferred to the Appellate Courts.”
The bank stated that a Notice of Appeal and an application for Stay of Execution had been filed and served on TunsFarms since May 2015.
“Tuns Farms has in fact filed necessary papers in response to the pending court processes. The bank was awaiting hearing date for the Application when TunsFarms invaded its banking offices in Oshogbo with thugs, criminals and area boys to disrupt its operations, and loot its assets.
“The bank has taken necessary steps to protest the obviously criminal action by Tuns Farms to the relevant law enforcement agencies, being an action that is capable of breaching the peace,” it added.
