Be mindful of transfer in as a pos agent, cash out withdrawal is better but if you would accept transfer, ensure that you know the person and its a smaller amount then secretly take a picture of that person with a detailed phone number should in case, you don't have a problem having done all that.

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.




You must have done crypto transactions, same happened to me earlier this year, got some fund from a proprietary firm($17K) sold it on Bianace . My bank account was frozen after 2weeks. Get a good lawyer , prepare for the worse ..make sure to open Kuda next time.

Why will someone earning in trading means people losing money to him and cursing him.

He likely invested in a particular currency that rose and he hit big on it. It happens everyday and he does not need people's money for it.

Be very careful. It's bait to draw you in. They did it for someone one I met at pos. He was instantly arrested and whisked away. They asked him to come and explain how he came about 7 million Naira in his account. They thought a 30 year old man was too young to have that much in his account. He was released after showing all manner of evidence, including written evidence from his employer. Don't go without being accompanied by a good elderly lawyer.It is wrong for you too to hold all your money in fiat..You should have kept some in fiduciary like forex, shares, bond or bitcoin. All can't crash at the same time. You can't earn in foreign currency without the security agents getting interested. You can even keep an account in Benin Republic and divert part of your earnings there.

The account officer didn't say anything concrete.
Stop wasting your time, I said no bank staff will reveal such info to you, abi you want the person to lose his job?


I have told you severally, your account was reported for being used to scam people. It's a financial crime allegation and the only way to clear it is to visit your bank but be prepared for arrest and possible legal representation.



Alternatively, find an experienced lawyer in your city of residence and narrate your honest story to him. Tell him what you do for a living and how you have been using your accounts in the last 6 months.


Then let him advice you further. Maybe he can write a petition to the bank or something.

If you are sure you use your account for legit business, simply work to the bank with your kyc documents. I.e proof of identification and proof of residence. But this one seems like hey used your BVN to lock up all your account. Check yourself well ooo before you enter bank.

Absolutely. Now you know the reason for the insistence on NIN linkage. It was never about tracking terrorists or yahoo boys but about government trying to grab power that no government should have, not especially this sort of government. Trust me, it will not end here, soon they will be coming after legitimate online freelancers, insisting that they should be paying one tax or another.

This conspiracy theorist did not even wait to let Op find out his crime. Why haven't your own accounts frozen? Some people would just send stolen money to your account just because they happened to have your account number

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 friend, if you go to that bank be careful if not you will be handed over to EFCC. I speak reality, you're safe if it's not btc related. I was even threatened by the bank manager last year because I wanted to transfer 8M from my account. I wish you well, get a lawyer standby to avoid harrasment.

Somebody has probably written a petition to report you to EFCC. Go to the EFCC office yourself to verify if there's a case against you. It may also be ICPC if you're a government official.
Re: My Four Bank Accounts Restricted/frozen by captain247: 2:44pm On May 28, 2022
First you need to know which of your bank that has generated this restriction because the others where affected due to linked BVN. If its GTB for sure they will arrest you with their own security police before calling EFCC to come pick you up. If it's zenith they will explain to you the problem and advise you to wait for 90days for the investigation to be carried out by the EFCC. During which EFCC will contact you so then you you will need a lawyer. Don't be scared if you didn't do anything, scammers are the ones using people's details to carry out fraudulent transactions. I have had such issues and it was resolved ones investigation was completed and letters sent to all the banks to reactivate the accounts. Only thing is that no apology tendered for all the period of waiting without having access to your money.

Ok, I'm a $200k funded forex trader, I trade for proprietary and get some % what i made . I normally get paid from those firms through crypto just to avoid withdrawal fees, then I will sell it on Bianace, last year December I sold $12k to someone on Bianace who is on EFCC wanted list for kidnapping and money laundering, barely did I Know I was dealing with a devil.

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.

For all your accounts to be frozen not just one bank then you are in big trouble
EFCC is after you , is either you have given someone account to move illegal money and collect your share out of it or as you are doing online business that involve illegal transactions.
This happened to someone I know and he suffered in the hands of EFCC.
Let you lawyer write to the bank first before reporting yourself
