Leave him with God, his deed will surely catch up with him.

Since he had admitted that he took your power Bank, report him to the bank management

Good evening my fellow Nairalanders.

On the 28th of December, I went to Access bank to request for a new ATM card. While waiting for my turn, another customer, an elderly man of around 50years reached out to me saying i should help him out with my powerbank so he can power his phone and set his mobile app of which i obliged. I gave him the powerbank, when the bank staff was attending to me; the old man left the banking with my powerbank.

I quickly remember and raised alarm. His form was later sort out and his phone number was called. He picked and said he won't bring the powerbank. He ended up blocking the staff number. I requested they give me his number so i can trace him. They refuse and said it's against their policy.

The powerbank is very costly. Pls what can i do get my property

Seriously if this happened then I'm ashamed for the man.
You calling him elderly man and saying he's around 50 years old makes me feel very old fa!! What will you then call me if you hear I'm in my mid 50s??

Owaincouncil:
Report the matter officially to the bank. Just look for an hungry lawyer that can take 5k or write for you pro bono requesting for the cctv footage of the day and drag them that their customer in that bank dupe you on the floor of their bank, add them to the case, you will see how they will quickly get the man for you.

hungry lawyer

Bad mouth

Dzzzz:
The bank is suppose to put a red flag on his account so it can draw him out to the bank..

the bank can not do that
If he wants it he should go through the court and police. It's best he leave it because it will cost more but his house is known.

1. I don’t believe this story.

2. A 27K mah power bank for 70K is another sure lie. I’m guessing someone is advertising.

CodeTemplarr:
Befriend the staff and see if you can get the number informally.

N70k for 27,000 mah powerbank. Itel 20,000 mah goes for N20k or there about. Woooooow.

Oraimo power banks are the best on the market. It's very expensive but worth the price.

Why disturbing yourself on the business of police. Just go to the nearest police station and file a report.
The man is definitely traceable, just follow the simple steps.
If police refused, just get a lawyer to sue both police and the bank jeje for aiding a criminal.

Aswia....


If I'm sure I can catch him, he go pay for damages o. Some old people na thief o.the first time I experienced pick pocket in my life is from an elderly person I was even showing pity. Since then, I dey use my head where these agbaya dem dey o.

Solosolojohquay:
Involve the police go with police men and request to see their manager you will spend money but you won't spend up to that 70k before you recover your power bank

Simple! The just isn't ready to be of help. Even if na ₦5 you mistaken take illegally from bank, they know how to use your account to draw you in.

sorry about your power bank, maybe he wan go sell am chop food.

A man that is full of brain and physical strength to sneak out of the banking hall on him and swindle him of his powerbank.

Aristo3146:
Made up story, 28th December was a Sunday, Who does banking operations on a Sunday?

I'm sorry about that sir. It was on Monday, this week. So that should be 29th

I would not stop saying this....most Nigerians are very wicked and corrupt.....

Sandralight:
Sorry OP, this is very painful but also very funny.

Like the man had the mind to say he won't bring the powerbank back like the audacity, he isn't even scared that they will trace his account number or anything.

The way Nigerians steal nowadays eh and they don't even see it as stealing, this man go don talk say he dey smart and God don butter his bread.

please ignore those asking you to let it go, it will only encourage the useless baba to keep going randomly stealing from other people, try as much as possible to get that stuff back, this whole thing is simple, involve police or court order to place pnd on the old thief account, bank will definitely release the number because the crime was committed within bank premises and they verify the crime

It depends on the charging speed. Hope you saw 130W ..... That utel could be 22.5W or at most 100W

50 Years is not an elderly Man, it's a middle aged man.

The bank staff attending to us knows I actually borrowed him my powerbank, cause he wanted to set up his mobile app after collecting his atm. It was when i was been attended to, that was when he left prior to my notice. So immediately i alerted the bank staff. She sort the man form and extracted his number cause it wasn't that long. They called him at first and ask him to come immediately for his atm card verification. He said he was close he is coming. I waited until around 3:45pm. They called him again and he said is that guy that he collected his powerbank still there abi? Then he cut the call. I waited again until after 4. I told the bank staff to pls give me his phone number. They said no. That i should come back on Tuesday they will reach him. So they said i should drop my contact details which i did. On Tuesday i went there again. They called him but he began blocking their numbers. I went to the a police station near by. They said the bank staff suppose give me his number since they are aware and the man also admitted he collected the powerbank. So they said i should write statement. And I'll also need court order and it will cost me money too i just left the police station cause i presume the stress won't be here

oluwaseyi0:
Only a court can force them to give out the number, unless the police has informal relationships in that bank nothing helpful will happen

An experienced Head of Operations will give out the phone number and nothing can happen from the old thief.

den no fit without court order ,and u go use another 100 to 150k get am... banking law is just weird

NA YOU DEY COOL CAUSE BY NOW YOU SUPPOSE DON SHISA PHANSI THE WHOLE BANK

jnat:
Seriously take it up with the Bank, they will block his account.
They have him on Camera that he stole right inside the Bank and he's the Bank customer.
Request to see the branch or the operations manager, they will do something about it.
If you do gentle man, na you know o

The bank staff are already aware. They know i gave him my powerbank. They called him but he refused to return it and keep blocking every number that is been used to call him

The bank officers goofed by not giving you the number. If they had given you the number, there is absolutely no risk there and nothing that the old thief can do. But of course, you have bank officers that are poorly trained and lacking in self conviction and confidence.

28th was on Sunday na. It seems you got the day wrong.

An experienced HOP will put a lien on his account , block or flag it as the case may be. Let him go and call his lawyer.

Simply approach a Lawyer who will bring a motion on notice before the court seeking to compel the bank to release the identity of the man in question following which you will will have a petition written to the police against him. You will, in the end have him prosecuted for fraudulent conversion et al Sorry about that. have a blessed 2026.

The bank can if the HOP knows what he is doing. What case do you think the old thief has?

Experience is lacking these days.
