Meanwhile, First Atlantic Bank has requested that its name be withdrawn from the lawsuit. The financial institution filed an application dated January 24, requesting that certain paragraphs of the writ be stricken out.
It is asking the court to dismiss paragraphs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36 and 37 “on the ground that they disclose no reasonable cause of action against the applicant”.
If the application is granted, it would cripple portions of the writ that accuse the bank of watching on for female workers being harassed sexually by senior male officers of the bank.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that First Atlantic Bank has relieved Kwasi Nimako of his position as a result of the scandal.
