My dad do not engage in mobile banking and by God's grace all his children are all working and are doing well for themselves. My mum is a nurse. So which member of my family will now steal money from him.

And why didn't he receive a email and text notification of the transaction? Doesn't that ring a bell to you?

I am devastated to share a heartbreaking story of how my dad's savings totaling over N1.5 Million, including his Federal and State pension for March 2024, disappeared from his Zenith Bank account number 2007320567. This unexpected loss isn't the first time he will be incurring loss from Zenith Bank PLC.

Last year, an unauthorized withdrawal under questionable circumstances shook my dad's trust in the banking system. Below are the dates and sum that was taken away from the account:
22/7/2023 - The sum of #9999 was taken 5 times from his account
23/7/2023 - The sum of #9999 was taken once
24/7/2023 - The sum of #9999 was taken 7 Times
26/7/2023 - The sum of #9999 was taken 2 times
29/9/2023- The sum of #9999 was taken 1 Time

(Please find attached copies of his bank statement of the #9999 unauthorized withdrawal)

Given this reality my dad was compelled into writing Zenith Bank PLC via their email: zenithdirect@zenithbank.com . Despite his efforts to seek answers and resolution, Zenith Bank responded by deploying a draconian approach of blocking his account for an unending investigation that didn't yield any tangible result. Frustrated by the delay after a month, my dad in company of I visited the Orije branch, close to Traffic light junction in Port Harcourt in hopes of expediting the process with the Customer care unit.

My dad facing health challenges as a stroke survivor with walking impairment, had to climb to the first floor where the customer care is domicile . Mrs. Oke, one of the customer service representatives upon listening to our complaint, suggested he reapply for a new ATM card. This is in spite of the fact that his ATM card has not expired. A new ATM was issued to him with a new Pin after which the blockade of the account was lifted. My dad requested for his bank statement for which he was issued same. There and then he lodged a formal complaint on the strange but persistent debit alerts as highlighted above of #9999 whose total sum amounted to close to #150,000. Of which he was assured that investigation will be carried out with the view of unmasking the transaction. My dad and I left the bank after withdrawing the sum of #100,000

However, his hopes were shattered just last week 9th of April when an attempt to withdraw money in an account that had over #1.5Million showed insufficient funds. Upon checking his account balance via *966*00#, it revealed a shocking balance of only N6,718.61, a stark difference from the over N1.5 million my dad had diligently saved. This drastic reduction was alarming, especially considering my dad's modest monthly withdrawals for living expenses.

The lack of SMS and email notifications of alerts during the draining of his savings raises suspicions that the unauthorized transactions may have originated from within Zenith Bank. Despite usually receiving timely notifications for all his financial activities, no alerts were issued when the huge amount was moved out of his account.
My dad's Federal and state pension for the month of March was amongst the amount that was moved out of his account. My dad retired as a Director in the Rivers state Civil service.

In this time of distress, we are left with no choice but to request the immediate refund of the stolen funds from Zenith bank. We have formally writing to them as regards the issue. But as usual, we haven't seen any effort being made to address the issue. And the truth is that we have lost confidence in the ability of Zenith Bank PLC to resolve the issue given that the last complaint wasn't resolved. It has been a week We haven't heard from Zenith Bank nor has our email and the correspondence sent to their Orije branch yielded any result. We believe strongly that the same person that was withdrawing the #9999 on various occasions is the same person that emptied my dad's account and left just a meager N6,718.61 for him.

He wants to be noticed. On instablog last year there were two cases of a man and a woman that went to their bank to cause drama over missing funds in their account.

OPAY must have been used to clear the account with the card details stolen by a POS crook...

The #9999 that they were deducted last month was it also through opay they were deducting it from?
