• Defunct Intercontinental Bank director treats family and friends to a great time in Ghana as he marries of daughter in style
Remember Erastus Akingbola? The celebrity bank chief who was allegeldly got caught with his hand in the till? Akingbola is back in the news and this time around, he courts neither scorn or malice. Like the reformed man who finally finds his essence in a life of humility and quietude, Akingbola has decided to tow the often loathed by-pass to the fast lane. This is why he will not be hosting his daughter’s wedding Nigeria. The former bank chief who was ordered by a court in Nigeria to refund a whopping N165billion, allegedly embezzled by him will be hosting their daughter’s wedding in Accra, Ghana, this weekend. They will be flying many family and friends to the event.
It is not known why the wedding is holding outside Nigeria, but sources disclosed that the Akingbola and his wife, Tolulope, had specifically requested a destination wedding and their wish was granted. He’s been through a lot in his career as a banker. When Erastus was a bank MD, friends worshiped him. But when he was booted out, they left him. The embattled banker and one-time owner of Intercontinental Bank is however, unperturbed by his numerous court cases as he rolls out the drums this weekend, in far away Ghana, to treat his daughter to a grand wedding.
