An Enugu-based lawyer, Olusoga Omotayo, has raised an alarm over an alleged unauthorized credit into his Access Bank account domiciled at the Ogui Road branch in Enugu State. Omotayo, in a statement to The Guardian, said he discovered a huge sum of over seventeen million naira credited to his account on Monday evening, despite having no transaction with any individual or organization that would warrant such a payment.
Immediate Action Demanded
In a letter sent to the Ogui Road branch of the bank on Tuesday, Omotayo pleaded with the bank to take immediate necessary steps to extract the money paid into his account from an unknown person. The letter reads: “I write to inform you that I noticed yesterday evening the inflow of the sum of N17,200,000.00 (Seventeen Million Two Hundred Thousand Naira Only) into my account domiciled with the bank. I did not have any transaction with anybody to warrant the transfer of such money to my account by an unknown person. I therefore demand that you take necessary legal steps to remove the fund from my account.”
Evidence Provided
Omotayo also attached a screenshot of the said transaction to the letter as evidence. The lawyer expressed concern over the unauthorized credit, emphasizing the need for the bank to act swiftly to resolve the issue and prevent any potential legal complications.
