Pandemonium broke out at an Access Bank branch when an enraged customer stormed the banking hall and vandalized several properties, claiming the bank had debited him N1.2 million multiple times without resolving his complaint.

According to eyewitnesses, the man walked into the bank around midday, visibly agitated. Moments later, chaos erupted as he began smashing furniture, scattering equipment, and shouting at staff. Customers and bank workers scampered for safety as the man went on a rampage, accusing the bank of ignoring his repeated complaints.

"He said the bank debited him N1.2 million, not once, and that he had visited the branch several times to report the issue but was always dismissed or told to come back later," a witness recounted.

The branch manager and staff quickly evacuated the banking hall while security personnel attempted to calm the situation. Videos of the incident have since gone viral on social media, drawing mixed reactions from the public.

As annoying as this is, he needed not to have resorted to this as the bank can sue him.
He should just have sued the stupid bankd and give them a good publicity through FIJ news.

Banks have changed. Is there any bank that doesn't suck?

Even if,at least he don do Wetin dey him mind.. and now the video and news of the deduction has gone viral,you think it's a good PR for the bank? If na only that one he succeeded in doing,he try..

Public Disturbance
Vandalism
Among other offences could be charged against him despite loss of money

He will surely regret his actions there are better ways of channelling your greviances or calling out the bank. Why not use the power of social media?

Yes
Stanbic.
Quite cool.

Access bank are becoming something else, the manner they deduct from people's money in name of electronic money transfer levy is very alarming.

I need an alternative bank honestly.

Can you give me a at fij news? I have a case similar to this at hand.

Hmmmm things are happening

Banks are the potential fraudsters.

Not potential but the main fraudsters, the banks are the originators and creators of frauds any time any day.

Pray make banks no whine you ooo... You go go gaga

This one dey go jail o.
Damaging bank property, physical assault, threat to public peace, battery, vandalism na wetin police go put for charge sheet be that. At least, 2 must stick from the video evidence.
To fight for your right still involves applying sense n wisdom.
That 1.2million when reversed won't save him when the law descends on him.

Everything works until it gets to Nigeria. Why should the Nigerian banking system be dealing with inexplicable debits from the s of customers? Why? Ever since the Japa thing started and most Nigerian banks lost their key IT guys, the matter has become worse.

All Nigeria commercial banks sucks except Opay.

I never had issues with Opay since over four years now. I have diverted all my funds to Opay.

Thank you Opay for being a sincere online banking with integrity.

When the wicked rule the people will groan. Nothing happening today no dey bible.

Every error can still be corrected but destruction of properties is a real d!ck move ..🤔

They go use court cases weigh am down he go even end up paying damages, they're better ways to address your grievance, I thought his aim is to recover his money, now he will loose the money they debited because he decided to exhibit this behaviour and vandalize stuff.

What is his gain in all that?? Absolutely nothing!!!
The bank will sue him and he definitely won’t win the case.

Only violent people are taken seriously in this country. Case in point abgero, boko haram and fulani terrorists

What if that money was for medical bills of someone close to him and the person eventually died because the debited amount wasn't reversed?

You guys reason like cows sometimes.

Violent approach may not be a good option, but that's the only message Nigerian banks can quickly understand. I was once in his shoes, so I understand the feeling. Mine was not even up to 1.2 million, it was 500k back then in 2016. Same Access Bank

Alternative bank? As if you've never heard of OPAY

He also has right to charge them for damages and liability caused by inability to access his funds. He could argue he missed several business opportunities simply because he couldn't access his funds that was stolen by the bank

Stanbic is okay?

CJStarz:

Yes

Noted.

It is his hard earned money and you don't play with his emotions despite making efforts to reach out to the bank and was dismissed. I would even destroy more valuable things if I were to be the one. Nonsense.
