First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has appointed Yemisi Edun as acting managing Director, following the announcement yesterday that Adam Nuru has gone on leave amid allegation of marital infidelity levelled against him.

The later reportedly died of heart attack following the tragic development.

Following Edun’s appointment as acting MD, there are uncertainties on whether Nuru will return to his position at the bank after the investigation launched into the accusation of unethical conduct.
