“They Have Taken All My Savings”- Lady Cries Out After Allegedly Losing ₦3 Million Savings From Access Bank Account

• A Nigerian woman reported her life savings missing from her Access Bank account.
• She had been saving since 2022, expecting a balance of around ₦3 million.
• The disappearance of funds was discovered after her return from Dubai.

A Nigerian lady has cried out for help after allegedly discovering that her life savings had disappeared from her Access Bank account.

According to the woman, she had been saving money in the account since 2022 and expected her balance to be around ₦3 million. However, after returning from Dubai and checking the account, she was shocked to discover that the funds were no longer available.

She claimed that she could not even find ₦1,000 in the account when she checked her balance.

Narrating her ordeal, the woman alleged that her SIM card had been reassigned to another person, who subsequently gained access to her bank account.

“They have taken my money, all my savings from 2022. I was supposed to have about ₦3 million in my Access Bank account, but when I came back from Dubai to check, I couldn’t find even ₦1,000. I was told my SIM card was given to someone else, and the person has been withdrawing ₦20,000 from the account since 2024.”

The woman further alleged that the withdrawals had been ongoing since 2024, raising concerns about how the individual was allegedly able to access the account and carry out transactions over an extended period.

@Elan James:”This is heartbreaking. 💔 I hope Access Bank and the relevant authorities investigate quickly and help her recover her money.”

@Feyishara:”Na so mtn Dey sell someone else’s number to another person,I don’t think it is really access bank’s fault,if you don’t use their app and you don’t have some security placed on the account before transactions can be made then anyone can access your money via your fone number.”

@Joseph:”She should hild them responsible oo, if possible get the police involved in the matter”
