Hi,Nlanders!
About 3 months

This is stranger than fiction, what nonsense? Is she the only child of her mother? Why would it take years to get the statement? Speechless

You will have to lay your complaints at the bank/court.Court will issue a letter to bank requesting for account balance of deceased; afterwhich you will produce death certificate etc to the bank; the banks legal department handles such cases sha and authorizes payment of balance by raising a bank draft to next of kin through the court; So pray hard that you are actually the next of kin. Your story sounds unbeleivable to me; Just go to court first and lay your complaints

Advanced 419.

@ moremi,iam not a 419 or scam artiste, i pray that you will not go through what i went through in the last 6 months in the hands of my in law;i would not be lying about this and still put my name on a public domain.FYI, IAM A MINING ENGR, I make good money...it is just that my late wife's family to be interested only in her properties.It is very unwise to hide behind the keyboard/anonymity to disrespect people. it might be your turn tommorow!

@ whitedove,

I sympathize with you over your loss.

But, i find your story strange. The norm is usual the other way around.

You are the man, so, you lost your wife! And you have 2 girls.... didn't it occur to you that your daughters might want something to remember their mom by?

Why would you allow them take her belongings like she was not married to you?

How come they can demand for her bank statement, what ever for? To share whatever is left?

Ah! Na wa o... i hope she doesnt own the house you are staying in...? for obvious reasons!

If this story is true, I sympathise with you. It sounds though like you were a leech on your wife. Like she was the breadwinner.

The story is very true. Very sorry for your loss.

Odunnu: If this story is true, I sympathise with you. It sounds though like you were a leech on your wife. Like she was the breadwinner.

Thanks for your concern;i was never a parasite to my late wife,infact i single-handedly built whatever we had together, it might interest you to know also that the account in question was opened for her by me, the reason(s) behind this is that as am typing this; iaam in calabar, my children are in mushin in lagos- a slum( we were living @ oko oba) with my sister who is demanding ...so am doing this in order to settle her and take those kids.

Go to any Keystone bank and explain your situation to the manager.
That makes more sense than looking for a nairalander to help you.
