Man speaks on next of kin issue

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had stated that next of kin may not have access to a deceased's money thanks to Nigerian banks.

In an educative thread on X, the man, @moderate_ustaz, described Nigerian banks as dubious and advised people to be wise, saying next of kin is useless in banks. He said banks go through a legal probate process to determine who gets the monies in their deceased customers' accounts.
