Man accuses popular bank of using his account to move money as ₦6m appears without a trace
A Nigerian man has accused a popular bank of using his account for questionable transactions after ₦6 million mysteriously appeared and later vanished from his account without explanation.
In a post shared on his page via the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the man recounted the unusual incident.
Man accuses popular bank of using his account to move money.
He explained that he recently noticed an unexpected deposit of ₦6 million in his account with no accompanying transaction details to trace its source.
Seeking clarification, he contacted his bank manager, who claimed the amount was the result of a failed transaction he had previously attempted.
However, the man stated that this explanation did not align with his own records or calculations.
Months later, he revealed that upon logging into his account, he discovered the ₦6 million had disappeared without any trace or transaction entry to explain its removal.
Sharing his experience, he wrote: “Last year, I had a phantom ₦6M show up in my GTB account. I keep accurate records of my accounts to the penny. When I called my account manager, I was told it was from a failed transfer to Opay. This didn’t match my records. I left the money untouched.”
“This morning, I logged in and watched the magic as my balance went down by ₦6M. No transaction line, no explanation. It’s shocking that a bank can adjust your balance without leaving a trace.”
A commenter on his post alleged that such incidents might be part of a larger scheme, claiming, “They’ve been using people’s accounts to move money. It’s been happening for months. Glad this disappearance confirms it.”
The man responded in agreement, stating, “100%. I keep screenshots.”
The post sparked reactions from concerned individuals, who took to the comments section to share their thoughts and similar experiences.
