Noble Igwe, a Nigerian blogger, ignited a commotion on social media Saturday, hours after calling on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to intensify its crackdown on financial crimes culprits.

He urged the EFCC to “station” attendants at nightclubs in exquisite Lekki and Victoria Island neighbourhoods in Lagos.

Online and offline stores along the famous Admiralty Way in Lekki “are used for money laundering”, as well as similar stores off Fola Osibo Road, Mr Igwe said.

He also railed against “armed robbers” on Instagram for parading themselves as “G Boys’ when, in his opinion, they are actually into “a different type of stealing.”

Hours after Noble Igwe caused commotion on social media , A Twitter user Janet Oyetolani posted on twitter how are friends got scammed by a sterling bank officer.

She posted :

This case of fraud, corruption, stealing, whatever the case may be and Nigerians enabling it is quite amusing and infuriating. A friend of mine visited Nigeria for some weeks and needed to replace her debit card at a Sterling bank branch. She got to the bank, requested for the card and was issued a new one later. What she didn’t know was that the person (bank official) who issued her card secretly copied her card details and stole a whopping sum of over 700k from her account. A bank staff member! I was baffled. I asked her how she rectified it. She said she went to the bank in a fit of anger and told the manager about it. They were only able to get back 250k and apologised immensely on behalf their bank official who stole it. By the way, he saw her enter the bank and avoided her. Bank manager had the guts to tell her that they’ve tried transferring the guy to another department but he wouldn’t bulge. This could highly mean that he has done this before. She pushed the agenda of him being sacked, but bank officials told her to “calm down”. . Amusingly, bank manager found out she doesn’t permanently reside in Nigeria, got her contact details and started toasting her. That was how she lost over 450k, bank official who stole it wasn’t sacked and bank manager toasted her. She couldn’t Engage a lawyer , she was just visiting Nigeria for short term. She got 250k out of over 700k stolen.

I don't believe this story. How can a bank discover theft of such magnitude and does not sack the staff or have him arrested? In this social media and bloggers era?

Exactly. He was not sacked? He refused to be transferred?

Undilluted lie

Find this hard to believe.
