Staff members of Heritage Bank Plc have accused Senator Andy Uba of collecting loans from the bank and refusing to pay them back.
Over 20 young bank workers were seen in a video gathered in front of Uba’s residence in Abuja in protest, with placards in hand.
A member of the bank said the Heritage Bank staff members were at the residence of the lawmaker representing Anambra South Senatorial District in the Senate to put pressure on him to pay back his loans after several efforts had failed.

He said: “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today is Monday, the 21st day of June 2021, and we have here the staff members of Heritage Bank Pl, Abuja. We are in front of Senator Andy Uba’s house in Abuja.

“So that people will not lose their job…”
