A disgruntled client has dragged the Management of Dfcu Bank Kabale branch to the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) Kibuli, over allegations that they fraudulently withdrew over Shs77m from her late father’s account.
Grace Nyakaisiki Kamuhanda, alleges that the Legal Department and Manager Dfcu Bank Kabale Branch connived with Florence Tuwnwijukye to withdraw Shs77, 122,000 from her later father John Wycliffe Kamuhanda’s account number 01983001000395.
Kamuhanda’s lawyers of Twijukye And Co. Advocates, on September 6, 2019 wrote a notice of intention to sue to Dfcu Bank, instructing them to refund the Shs77,122,000 they illegally withdrew from Mzee Kamuhanda’s account on February 2, 2018, plus payment of Shs15,000,000 as investigation fees incurred in the matter.
However, the management of Dfcu Bank turned a deaf ear to the lawyers’ demands, which prompted Kamuhanda (Grace) to petition the CID Director Grace Akello.
Her petition dated February 10, 2020, reads in part thus;
