Popular actress, Kemi Afolabi, has taken to social media to draw the attention of Nigerians and the country’s apex bank, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to what she considered unacceptable behaviour by Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank).
Taking to her Instagram page she appealed to her fans and other netizens to help her resolve a challenging situation she found herself in.
According to the thespian, she mistakenly transferred the sum of N510,000 to a customer’s account in April, after returning from a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. But to her dismay, GTBank is yet to reverse the transaction.
In a plea for assistance, Afolabi took to her Instagram page and wrote: “I mistakenly transferred the sum of five hundred and ten thousand naira to a customer’s account! We both use the same bank. Since April 1st, 2023. Eyin fans mi e ma gba mi keh. My tired is exhausted honestly!”
