Good day my people.

Yesterday a friend called me that her account was closed, I thought it was a joke until we went to a branch of first bank around Central District and we were told that the account is closed.

They sent a message to the branch where the account was Domicile and the reply was that the account has a bitcoin narration/transactions on 1st November 2020 and going by CBN directive, they have to close all such account.

My friend don't do bitcoin but his younger brother used her phone to transfer money from her account to his account carrying bitcoin as narration.

That was how her salary account was closed without notification of any form

This is very wrong, our leaders should be considering things and present state of the economy because taking setting decision. No salary for her this month and its only God that know when her new account will be link to IPPIS before they start paying her again.

This is so painful, I was hurt seeing her shed tears yesterday.

please do anyone here have such experience? pardon the errors pls.

find a good lawyer to sue both First Bank and CBN. Since the instruction abi order to close all accounts that transact crypocurrency was only given this year, they can't bring something that happened last year to that effect.

Nigerian policy is inconsiderate of her citizens

That’s bad
I will implore you to find a good lawyer and take a legal action
The order was just given this year

WAHALA BE LIKE NIGERIAN GOVT !!!

But the transaction/narration occurred in 2020. why are they now closing people's account.

That country is finished gosh.

If u have money u can go to court or tell ur company to change ur bank details to other bank

Somebody in the bank actually suggested that but the problem is money and time wasting in court processes.

If its a recent transaction, It will be a more reasonable reason for the closure but this is a transaction of last year that she did not know anything about.

How should they even close her account without any for of notification.


this our country, Na God go help us.

They told her any account at all with bitcoin narration or transaction should be closed irrespective of when, that's why I want to know if anyone here also have similar experience.

Honestly, with so many anti-citizens policies.

She is not. She has open a new account and will soon start the process of linking it to IPPIS for her salary.

Wnat is the way out. I love my country im a Nigerian first before anything else. God help my country

Most of us do, I'm proud of my skin colour and a very patriotic Nigerian but when you look about happening and our leaders recklessness and other things happening, you begin to loose hope.

For now, its only God that can help us because we are not united as a people to demand anything positive
