Nigerian businessman Dr. Eke Agbai has dragged First Bank Nigeria, before an Abia State High court over what he described as premeditated fraud of over 550 million naira from his fixed deposit account with the bank.
According to his lawyers, First Bank has refused to return the deposit made by their client.
This cumulative deposit amounting to 550 million Naira was initiated by their client following the threat of withdrawal from the Branch in Abiriba, in furtherance of his desire to sustain the development of the Community in which he is a leader.
The businessman’s lawyer said trouble started in December 2023, when their client noticed that he could not gain access to his account through his Bank App and could not reach his Business Development Manager.
He then approached the Gwarinpa Branch of First Bank in Abuja, where he was told that 55 million Naira had just been removed in 6 consecutive transactions, whereas he was in Umuahia when the unauthorized deductions were made.
