Those shitty cashiers that are only doing there IT for bank and they will firming staffs and even the staffs that only looks good in uniform and nothing to show for it will be acting like they have achieved it all in life,now what?? Will they now allow the family of the man withdraw the money or not??

Let's try and push emotions aside before passing judgement on some cases. Is the account his personal account? Why does he need a next of kin to withdraw from his account? There are a lot of sketchy details here but it pretty obvious that the account does not belong to the man. Perhaps a late spouse or sibling. In that kind of situation, you need to follow due procedure. No bank in the world will ever grant to access to funds from someone else's account because you're sick or hungry or whatnot. If it's his personal bank account, once his BVN data and signature checks, he would have withdrawn his money without issuesm

What insolent!!

Access to which money?

What is the correlation between taking his own money and bringing his NOK?

I know Nigerian banks could be crazy, but they tend to give preference to the aged, sick and/or pregnant women. Something doesn’t add up.

It should be “What insolence!!”. Well, I’m not surprised. These nepa bill brains. That’s why peanuts make them mess up on a daily here.

Thank you jor. You are the only person I have seen that has rained well on this issue. Everybody on this thread just jumping to conclusion.

Probably wailing is now the trending pattern now.

Pick any sad news and wail on it

Newspremises gathered that the deceased was allegedly denied access to hold money since Friday 23rd of April 2021, even when he came with his next of kin. He was asked to go to the court to get an affidavit even though courts are not in session due to the ongoing strike.

The man was said to have collapsed and died due to hunger, after not being allowed to withdraw, a young lady and two men came to the scene demanding that the bank opens the access door so they could deposit the man’s remains in the banking hall.

According to the young lady who spoke in tears, the man tears the victim was her father, adding that the man was sick and had come to the bank to get money for his treatment.

Nice to meet you, Experienced Banker and Elumelu of our time.

Thanks for confirming my point that there is more to the story. The bank didn’t just REFUSE to give him his money, there were issues, which could be beyond the bank’s control. Issues that I do not know, but I am sure there is more to the story. This is not to make excuses for the bank as I believe there are situations where rules can be relaxed.

Theben:

Oga, if you present your complete documents at the time of opening your account, no one would deny you access to your money.

You guys should stop pushing blame where there is need for none.

Yeah, but this particular story doesn't add up. In most cases, affidavits are needed when the account owner has passed on. But in this case, the owner is still alive, why did they need a next of kin and affidavit to release his money?? has he not been making withdrawals from the account prior to now?? I hope the bank makes a statement on this cos I'm interested in knowing what actually transpired.
