What happened
Financial Trust Group has accused the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation of withholding liquidation surpluses and dividends for more than 30 years. The funds relate to the liquidation of Financial Merchant Bank Limited and Republic Bank Limited in 1994 and 1995. The group demands an immediate settlement of outstanding entitlements and transparent, audited accounts of the realized assets. Sources state the corporation continued to withhold funds despite statutory provisions requiring distribution to shareholders and contributories after creditors were paid.

Why it matters
The dispute concerns residual assets from bank liquidations, which are legally required to be distributed to shareholders and contributories after depositors and creditors are fully settled. The accusation challenges the financial transparency and operational mandates of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation regarding historical corporate assets.
