Fraudulent Practices: Zero Tolerance for Corruption Vanguard Lambasts GTBank, Wants Government Intervention
In a passionate statement to the press, Richard Aro, convener of the Zero Tolerance for Corruption Vanguard, has condemned the operations of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank), calling the financial institution a “fraudulent organisation” and urging Nigerians to avoid using their services.
Aro highlighted the severe impact of the bank’s alleged fraudulent activities, especially on rural communities where elderly Nigerians depend on remittances to sustain their livelihoods.
According to Aro, many rural dwellers never receive the funds sent to them, or in some cases, do not even get notifications of transfers, adding to the growing frustration of the bank’s customers.
He further criticized the bank’s customer service, claiming that its representatives are often rude, unhelpful, and disorganised, leaving many Nigerians unable to resolve issues effectively.
Aro, who spoke on behalf of both urban and rural Nigerians, demanded that the federal government step in, warning that GTBank’s practices pose a serious threat to the country’s economy and security.
Comrade Emmanuel Oteku, a GTBank customer, shared his own harrowing experience, claiming that his transfer failed to reach recipient, and that attempts to resolve the issue have proven futile.
The group called for the federal government to investigate GTBank’s activities and for the bank’s CEO, Segun Agbaje, to step down and face prosecution.

APC Alleges Atiku, ADC Plot to Undermine Kaduna Campaign Flag-Off
Joel Ajayi
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) of allegedly orchestrating a disinformation campaign to discredit the party’s presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna on Saturday.
In a statement issued on Saturday, October 24, 2026, the council’s spokesperson, Dele Alake, alleged that the former vice president and the ADC planned to circulate fake news, manipulated documents and doctored videos to undermine the campaign, President Bola Tinubu, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani and other APC leaders.
Alake claimed that the alleged disinformation campaign involved the use of artificial intelligence, deepfake videos, counterfeit documents and social media platforms to manipulate public opinion.
According to him, the alleged plot had already begun with the circulation of a photograph showing a security vehicle on routine patrol near an APC campaign billboard in Kaduna metropolis.
He alleged that the image was misrepresented to suggest that security personnel had been deployed to protect APC billboards, adding that the narrative was subsequently published by a national newspaper and shared by Atiku on his official social media accounts.
The APC spokesperson further alleged that another document had been circulated online, purportedly showing a letter from Governor Uba Sani to the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, concerning an alleged release of ₦2.3 trillion by the Kaduna State Government to host the rally.
Describing the claim as baseless, Alake questioned the possibility of a state government spending such an amount on a political rally.
He noted that Kaduna State’s budgets for 2024, 2025 and 2026 stood at ₦458.271 billion, ₦790.439 billion and ₦985.9 billion, respectively.
According to him, the combined budgets for the three years amounted to less than ₦2.3 trillion, which he cited as evidence to challenge the claim circulating online.
Alake also alleged that the ADC and Atiku’s supporters were preparing to circulate old, manipulated and deepfake videos during the rally to create the impression of public resentment against the APC.
The council urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and verify information before sharing it, warning against the spread of misleading content on social media and other platforms.It further accused Atiku and the ADC of resorting to what it described as desperate tactics to gain political advantage ahead of future electoral contests.
The allegations were contained in a statement signed by Alake on behalf of the APC Presidential Campaign Council on Saturday.Atiku Abubakar and the ADC’s response to the allegations was not included in the statement.
