Following the revocation of the operating licence of Heritage Bank by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, reality star Mercy Eke has cried out for help, saying she has over N100 million in her account with the bank.
Eke explained that she opened the account because the bank
sponsored the fourth edition of the Big Brother Naija reality show which she
won.
She also blamed her account manager for “luring” her to fix
her money at the bank despite being aware of the issues with the bank.
On her X handle Thursday, Eke wrote: “I really don’t no how
to react about this … I have been hoping for the best .. thinking there’s a way
out…. #HeritageBank.”
Taking to the comment section, a fan asked, “Omg Lambo hope
you don’t have acct with them?” to which Eke replied, “I do… and have above
100m with them.”
Another fan asked, “Why did you open an account with them in
the first place?” and the reality star replied, “That was the bank that sponsored
Bbn during my set, for them to pay our money we were advised to open an account
with them… stupid me went ahead and funded the account … don’t worry I’m full
of regrets right now.”
A concerned fan asked, “What is your account manager
saying?”
Mercy Eke responded, “She lured me into fixing my money,
knowing fully well there’s been issues with the bank … I don’t have words for
her, I blame myself.”
The reality star also disclosed that she has submitted a
notice to the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Commission in a bid to retrieve her
money.
The Nigerian Deposit Insurance Commission recently commenced
the liquidation process of Heritage Bank with verification and payment of the
bank depositors.
However, the NDIC stated that the refund would begin with
those with N5 million and below.
