Bank gives customer counterfeit money
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man has called out a commercial bank after he received counterfeits from one of its branches.
In a series of tweets, he disclosed he was given 5,000 Euros cash in counterfeits, and he only found out when his friend went to change the money to pounds. The aggrieved customer said he deposited the 5000 Euros at the bank's branch at Ali Alikilu Road, Kaduna state.
He was, however, told to go to the main branch to withdraw it when he wanted to use it. It was at the bank's main branch that he was given the counterfeits. The man with the Twitter handle Legendary Papi said the money came from his legitimate earnings.
