<p>The BBNaija star, had via his Instagram story called out a certain bank for embarrassing him at an event. According to him, he had been invited to a ban event, only for him to get there and his name wasn’t found in the list of guests at the event and the security stopped him from entering the venue.</p>
<p>To make it worse, the bank organizers didn’t make a move to save his face.</p>
<p>“I need an explanation as to why you will invite me to an event and the security checks for my name three times. The security was looking at me like I was supposed to not be there. I need an explanation as to why that happened”.</p>
