I tried transferring money from my GTB account only to get error messages.

I thought it was network or app issues.

I tried several times from then till next day but same response.

I tried buying airtime but it failed too.

I now contacted the bank and they said account is restricted/frozen; that I should visit a branch.

I called account officer and he confirmed the restrictions but gave no reason for that.

He was just evasive but hinted that restrictions were placed by law enforcement agency. No agency specifically was mentioned.

I tried UBA and Zenith too, similar restrictions yet no reason.

I use the accounts for legit businesses online and have had them since over 14 years, so can't say with certainty what the issue is.

How do I handle this now as going to the banking hall might lead to arrests etc, so I need to be prepared.

I need suggestions please.






Bro. Having the same issue today with my GTBank

I don't think they are searching for me seriously, otherwise they would have come to my house.
Bro go to the bank. No big deal.
But is you are scared which is understandable, go with a lawyer or commission a lawyer to write a letter demanding to know why you cannot acess your account.
Writing a letter should not cost you more than a couple of thousands.

Please note that you will be arrested when you visit any of their branches as there is already a memo pad to do so. At the same time, if you don't clear yourself, your BVN will be blacklisted, which means you won't be able to open account again in any bank.

If you are clean and sure you are not involved in any fraudulent transaction, kindly visit them. Let them arrest and take you for questioning, then defend yourself. You may also need to get a standby lawyer.
You may pm me. I want to engage you offline.

My account has been frozen since September last year for almost this same issue. To make it worst, by BVN has also been backlisted, am doing barred from USSD transactions. However, I’m still able to open account with apps like Kuda, Carbon, with same BVN.

THE STORY:
Last year September, someone transferred 5.1k to my junior brother through my account (UBA). He withdrew it same day. After 24 hours, my account balanced turned negative. I contacted my bank and I was told the transaction was fraudulent and that I should make a deposit of similar sum accompany with a letter of reverse order. I did and nothing happened after several days.

After some weeks, I received a call from the bank asking if I knew the sender’s location and base. I said no.

To cut the story short... I gave up on following up.

Those accounts were restricted using your BVN. That's the handiwork of NFIU. That happens if there were reports of suspicious transactions. I was going to say the restriction may include arrest-at-sight flag (since your account officer is evasive) but since you're confident you have not done anything illegit. Go ahead and visit the branch to learn more on what could have gone wrong.

All the best

Was there anytime you did an FX transaction like PTA without genuinely traveling (PTA precisely)?
Re: My Four Bank Accounts Restricted/frozen by captianfreeman(m): 3:56pm On May 28, 2022
Are they current (cooperate) or savings account?

If you are not a fraudster,go to the bank.
It is a simple matter.

If your account was used for questionable transaction without your knowledge,reach out to me for help.

This is my fear whenever I want to link my account to any crypto trading platform OR stuff. Infact, that is the reason up till now I don't do crypto trading etc.
It's not crypto related. Nobody can blacklist your BVN because of crypto. Read this, and read it well trading in cryptocurrency is not a crime. What possibly happened is that he may have received money from an illegitimate source.

Get a lawyer. If you are sure you are into legitimate business, you don't have to worry. Get a lawyer and sue them. Claim damages.

You cant sue if there's a court order to restrict your account. They are duty bound to comply with the order, unless and except you have a counter order.

Op hope u haven't done p2p on binance from someone who credited u with a third party account. All those ppl advertising juicy usdt rate on binance and tell u u will be credited from one of their other acc in other names are fraudsters. I always ensure I use express where binance matches me with mostly corporate acc. Also ur bvn can't b blacklisted just cos u did a crypto transaction. Worst is they LL close ur acc ND refund ur balance. Ur issue might be fraud related. U might have received a fraudulent inflow. Try check ur transaction history.

Early this year , I wanted to use my debit to pay for utility bill but It wasn't connecting, tried to withdraw through ATM same wahala. Called my bank to know "wassap" the response I got was to visit them for clarification. I informed my pastor who directed me to get a lawyer and I got one..
When I got to the useless bank and logged my complaints the manager got an urgent call from the above that I should be arrested, i was dentained for 3days at station with no reasons.the 4th day they came with with some papers that I collaborated with kidnappers for fraud. What actually saved me was my LTC transactions that I screenshot and the company that I'm working for. What I have received from them and what I had disbursed.
Got sorted ,and I was discharged , after 2weeks the bank called that I should get a dollar account to stop using Crypto and my bvn was free..no be small matter bro.i could have loved to share more but I'm busy now.

Don't just give up. BVN is linked to your NIN. NIN is linked to immigration data base, meaning you may even have issue with getting international passport later.
Ask your brother to open up to you. Refund their money and let them clear your BVN.
You don't know how this will affect you in the future.

This is where you got it all wrong. It is not oy fraud that would warrant your account getting closed. Even if you owe someone money and probably you didn't deliver the job paid for or maybe you issued a cheque that bounced etc. My own situation happened just 1 month ago.

You should only speak if you have been a victim of the process. It was then I discovered that banks close the account without a court order. Mind you my account was closed for 6 months and there was no court order. Law or not those agencies especially EFCC threaten banks.
