Get Guardian on GoogleAn Enugu-based lawyer, Olusoga Omotayo, has raised concerns over an alleged unauthorised credit of N17.2 million into his account with Access Bank.
Omotayo told The Guardian that he discovered the unexpected inflow on Monday evening after checking his account domiciled at the Ogui Road branch of the bank in Enugu State.
According to him, he had no transaction or business dealings with any individual or organisation that would warrant such payment.
The lawyer said he subsequently wrote to the Ogui Road branch of the bank on Tuesday, requesting the immediate removal of the funds from his account.
Part of the letter read: “I write to inform you that I noticed yesterday evening the inflow of the sum of N17,200,000 into my account domiciled with the bank.
“I didn’t have any transaction with anybody to warrant the transfer of such money to my account by an unknown person. I therefore demand that you take necessary legal steps to remove the fund from my account.”
Omotayo also attached a screenshot of the transaction details to the letter sent to the bank.
