A lady who lived in Italy for years has allegedly lost N68 million she saved in a Nigerian bank account.

In a TikTok video, the lady, Glory Omokaro, was said to have travelled to Italy in 2005. She reportedly worked hard and saved the money back home in Nigeria.

Glory opened the bank account when she first visited Nigeria from Italy in 2013 and started saving money in the account thereafter.

She opened the account in Benin, Edo state, when she visited her family.

Glory saved money in the account until it reached N68 million and hoped to use it when she finally moved back to Nigeria.

She said upon her return to Nigeria in May 2023, however, she only discovered N3000 in the bank account.

How N68m was moved from lady's bank account

In 2021, her ATM card expired, and she called the bank manager to help her renew it, but she was told she must be physically present.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Glory could not make it to Nigeria back then. When she returned in May 2023, only N3000 was left in the account.

She requested a bank statement, and it was discovered that money had been moved from the account in multiple tranches.

Bank makes mistake, people withdraw money

In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a mistake in banking service resulted in customers withdrawing their money even though they had zero account balances.

Videos circulating on social media showed bank customers queuing up to withdraw "free" cash.

While customers thought they were getting free money, the bank warned that it would be debited from their accounts.
