A customer of First Bank of Nigeria PLC, Izogie Evanni Akugbe, has petitioned the financial institution over the invasion of his account: 3081431121.
The letter by the customer, dated December 13, 2024, was routed through his lawyer, Ikeorha Kehinde, to First Bank of Nigeria PLC.
In it, Akugbe expressed shock over what he termed the illegal invasion of his account by unknown persons.
The letter by Kehinde said: “We were briefed by our client (Evans Akugbe) that one unknown person informed him that he got our client’s account number: 3081431121, Name: Izogie Evanni Akugbe and BVN from First Bank employees.
“The unknown person has friends in First Bank who gave him our client’s account statement with account balance together with our client’s BVN details.
“Our client further informed us that FBN PLC has actually abused the confidence he reposed in them and he’s afraid of being kidnapped and this ugly incident has subjected his health to excruciating pains, mental stress, high blood pressure, heart attack, headache, sleepless night, truncating our client’s business activities.
