Narrating her ordeal, Adeoye said;
“I can't believe the bank can stoop so low to use my money to play gamble. I am using Abule Tailor GTBank branch, in Abule Egba Area of Lagos State.

“Exactly 12:23am on this fateful day, I received a debit alert of one hundred thousand naira (N100,000) twice and the money was sent to KC GAMING NETWORKS LTD, a bet9ja account whose address was located at 9 Funsho Williams Avenue Ojuelegba Lagos, Nigeria.

“At daybreak, two different numbers bought five thousand naira recharge card with my account in six places at the sum of thirty thousand naira.

“When I woke up and saw the debit alert on my phone, I felt frustrated and didn't know what to do because as at Friday before I slept, N700,000 was in my account. I waited patiently till Monday.

“I went to the bank, and after getting there, one of their staff said that someone close to me might have tampered with my phone or pin, in which I told him nobody has access to my phone and pin. He checked and said I should come back in 48 hours and I left, but unfortunately for me I didn't hear from them at my branch in Abule Tailor, Lagos.

“I was advised to inform the police about what happened to my money and I went to Ikeja police command to lodge a complaint, hoping to receive a positive response from the bank but nothing have been done till now, that shows they intentionally defrauded me and used my money to play bet9ja over the weekend.

“However, the police promised to swing into action and bring the fraudster into justice.

“After waiting for 48 hours, I went back to the bank on Wednesday to use alternative avenue to speak with them which is GTBank connect. I told them they were wasting time on my account and demanded to know how long it will take before they revert my money. I was told it will take a long process.

“As a reputable organization, they can't swing into action immediately to get who defrauded their customer? You forwarded my money to KC GAMING NETWORKS LTD and you can't do anything about it, even the numbers that were used to purchase five thousand naira reachage card are showing on your system.

“My money was sent to gambling office and I was told to wait for a long period of time, that means the bank really defrauds their customers because I didn't disclose my PIN or BVN to anybody, so the fault is from the bank.

“Even inside the bank, a customer who has had similar experience advised me to take legal action because if I don't, GTBank will not look into the matter and they will not refund the money. He told me the bank is now becoming fraudulent nowadays.”

As at the time of filling this report, all efforts to reach the branch manager of the GTBank Abule Tailor branch, proved abortive.
