because your Inheritance Funds is still in the "Federal Suspense Account"
of CBN,yet you sent these men to come and collect this Funds on your
behalf without notifying us.*

actually sent them for the Collection of these Funds.*

consent.Below is list of the Documents which they tendered to this

Prof Soludo told them to come back tomorrow morning and they promised to
come back.As the Governor of this Noble Bank, he was supposed to Release
