The Zenith bank customer, while speaking with FIJ on Friday, said the bank contacted her on that Monday to update her on the refunded money.
Agim said, “I did not receive any alert because they had to put my account on hold after the incident happened. I was asked to come to the bank the following day.
“When I got to the bank, my account statement was printed and I saw that they had credited my account with N3,239,400 around 7.30pm on Monday.”
She started that she learnt that the remaining N800,500 was still with Access, one of the two banks where the money was transferred to.
Agim said, “Zenith Bank said it’s not their fault at this point, that it is Access Bank that is holding on to that money. They said Access Bank said the money would not be released unless a court order is issued.”
She further revealed that filed for a court order to mandate Access Bank to refund the remaining money.
