Thanks you all for help.
I was able to block my Mtn line by calling MTN customer care no (180).
For the bank s I had to use *737*51*10# for GTBANK as the other code didn’t work. Access code didn’t go through on a non linked line, fortunately I was able to sign to the app on another phone with a hardware token. And for Stanbic I called there customer care.
Only first bank code works using a different line than your linked phone no.

A pickpocket stole my friend's android phone and use his ed Sim card that was link to his bank to empty his savings with airtime purchase.
Always your simcard.It is the first security measure to take in safeguarding your bank from hackers.
