How #500k Disappeared from Customer's Account With First Bank of Nigeria





Prince Aliyu Adelaja, a resident of Lagos  returned from work late last month and discovered half a million disappeared from his FBN account. He made frantic calls to the desk line but to no avail. 


'I couldn't sleep throughout the night of 26th August, 2024. I returned from work by 6pm,. I was exhausted, feeling deeply asleep. I managed to take a shower and sleep. I was dozing when I got a beep on my phone. I checked and discovered a debit alert of N499. 500.  I jumped up immediately, checked and checked again with tears rolling down my chicks. I called the FBN  customer line without success. I was sadly shocked, I couldn't sleep again. I was restless, helpless till day break '.


Adelaja, an FBN customer of account number: 3040174119  lamented in a chat with our correspondent that life has been unbearable  for him as the money is part of money for a work given him by a customer , stressing that he has been in sad mood since the unfortunate  incident


According to Adelaja, 'I reported the fraud to Fagba branch of FBN. It was discovered  that the money went to FCMB account number 7423219306 and name AYOKUNLE TAIWO. How, It remains an unanswered question till date"


Prince Adelaja said he was told to fill a form which he did but nothing changed after that. 'My money was not refunded and no communication from my bank'.


Our efforts to get the reaction of the Bank proved abortive as telephone call to one Ismail Omamegbe,who is in charge of new media  was rejected and message sent to him on 8th October has not been answered till the time of going to press

Prince Aliyuis asking the management of the Bank to help retrieve  his hard-earned money
