A man identified as @MisterKJohnson publicly called out First Bank of Nigeria for refusing to grant him access to his money for over 2 weeks.
The individual said the money, which he claimed is a sum of N200,000, was withheld by the First Bank of Nigeria, Sango Ota branch because of the “KFC” issue.
@MisterKJohnson stated that his child has been critically ill but could not provide adequate treatment for the child because he does not have any other money to pay for his hospital bill.

There are discrepancies in his names
Meanwhile, the man revealed that there was an error in his BVN names which he submitted to GTBANK, as his 2 names were recorded in his bank details as against 3 names which he originally submitted to them.
However, he stated that he had tendered every document needed to prove his real identity to the bank, but the staff of the said Bank’s branch has shown unconcerned attitudes about the issue.
He also revealed that a sworn affidavit has been done to further prove his identity, but all efforts seem to be abortive.
