Man calls for help as bank locks his account over ad revenue, calls fraud unit on him

A Nigerian man has called for help after a bank official contacted the fraud unit, claiming that the funds in his account were not legitimate.

This was shared in a series of posts he made on X (formerly Twitter).

The man explained that he had received ad revenue in his account, but when the funds were deposited, his account was locked.

The bank then allegedly informed him that the money wasn’t legitimate.

He visited the bank to clarify the situation and assert that the funds were legitimate, but upon his arrival, a staff member reportedly called the fraud unit.

In his statement, he wrote: “I’ve just been arrested at @UBAGroup UBA Wuse Zone 2. My account was locked due to ad revenue I received, and when I went to the bank to explain that the money was legitimate, they called the fraud unit on me. This is unfair! Please help @TonyOElumelu.”

He later shared further details of his experience, adding: “The UBA policeman here is trying to forcefully take my phone. This is getting serious. Please help.”

He continued, “They said they are coming to take me, but I don’t know who is coming.”

The post quickly garnered attention, with concerned individuals flooding the comments section to share their thoughts and offer support.

@beri_grizou: “Whatever is happening, don’t let them take your phone bro, you’ll need it at all cost.”

@mayeesq: “Was your account flagged? Are you in the banking hall? Did you go to fix recent issues you were having with the account?! Regardless, speed dial a trusted contact and stay on the call. Speak out loud without putting the phone to your ears. Give details of happenings. Hang up.”

@Lapetney: “They’re taking you to efcc direct, prepare to stay at least 3weeks there, it’s not the money that came in that made them keep you, there’s a transaction that has entered or has been sent to you that’s flagged, in a sane clime they’re supposed to explain to you but they wont.”
