Ogunsola Oladipupo, a Lagos-based mechanic, has recounted how N76, 000 left his Fidelity Bank account without his authorisation.

Oladipupo told FIJ the money was deducted in a tranches of N70,000 and N6,000 on January 1.

“On January 6, I was at the Point of Sales (PoS) to withdraw N12, 000 but was told my balance was insufficient,” Oladipupo told FIJ.

The Lagos-based mechanic said when he got to the bank, his statement of account revealed that his money was transferred into an Opay account.
