    There was a Bank called Allied Bank of Nigeria PLC that was liquidated by the NDIC about 1997.The insured deposit due depositors then, used to be #50,000.00 .And they later declared the payment of 8 & 23 percent of the uninsured deposit at different times.
    Thereafter, nothing is heard about ALLIED BANK from the NDIC uptil date.All attempts at wanting to get them to speak on the issue, had been futile.
    In fact, they (NDIC) don’t take calls, and they don’t reply mails.
    I trust that Nairametrics can investigate this,and educate the public.
    Thanks
