Beware of who helps you in a bank, You can lose your money if…

Nojeem Ogundele, a store assistant, claims the Wema Bank in Aiyetoro, Ogun State, was unhelpful in assisting him in recovering N350,000 he lost to a scammer there.

The incident happened on October 12 when Ogundele’s boss, Obi Emmanuel, sent him to deposit the money into a business account.

Upon arriving at the bank, Ogundele reportedly joined a line of depositors.

He then explained that a man emerged from the bank and instructed the security guards to allow those who desired to deposit large sums of money into the bank access.

So after he entered, the same man came to him and asked how much he wanted to deposit and when he told him, thinking he was a bank official, he gave him three tellers and told me to fill in the details.

“I was waiting for the signed copies from the bulk room and when it was taking too long, I raised the alarm,” he added.

Punch disclosed that the bank’s closed circuit television camera (CCTV) captured the suspect’s face, but the bank denied he was a worker.

Emmanuel on the other hand said, “Since we reported the case to the police, both the bank and the police have not done much to ensure I get my money. I am just a small businessman and that money means a lot to me.

“We later learnt that this kind of a thing has been happening recently in that bank.”

The bank’s branch manager, Sharafadeen Awayeti, confirmed the incident, but claimed Ogundele might have been hypnotised.
