CBN said the affected banks committed four ‘sins’ or infractions, which necessitated it wielding the big stick against them.

A statement signed by the acting director of Corporate Affairs, CBN, Mrs Hakama Sidi-Ali, on Wednesday night, said the action became necessary due to the non-compliance of the three banks and their respective boards with the provisions of Section 12(c), (f), (g), (h) of Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act, 2020.
