A Nigerian returnee has accused the United Bank for Africa (UBA) of allegedly clearing N150 million from his bank account based on claims that he was dead.
The shocking allegation came to light during a live video call with human rights activist Gwamnishu Harrison, who has now vowed to take up the case legally.
According to the returnee, who has not yet been publicly identified, the incident occurred in 2023 while he was living abroad.
He revealed that during his time away, he regularly saved money in his UBA account, making deposits up to five times a year. However, upon returning to Nigeria, he was stunned to hear from bank officials that his entire savings had been withdrawn by individuals who allegedly claimed he had died and was already buried.
The man added that when he visited the bank to demand answers, police officers were already on standby to arrest him, accusing him of causing a disturbance. He recounted that all he did was raise his voice out of shock and frustration.
