Called MTN via 180 after retrieved the SIM

Was told to download their mobile app to obtain the information. But after persisting on not having a smartphone to do that, got full details of date and time transactions were done on the SIM that their system has on record.

More so, I told them tws a police case.
Re: Ordeal With "Digital Thieves" by centilad(m): 9:08pm On Jun 17, 2020
Also got Migo's call center number

Called to request for details of the transactions done with the SIM. They sent it - which contained the new account number.

Had Sync contacts with Google account for retrieving calls that night + other vital information

The banks too were ready to assist with the information they had - although it took several weeks and times of visits + money for transport to n fro.

Full details of bank, account name and number that got the transfer were retrieved.
