Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank), a leading financial institution in Africa has once again displayed high commitment to customer’s satisfaction by refunding customer whose money was stolen recently by a fraudster.

In January 2016, a young lady by the name Adejoke lost some of her belongings and had her SIM card swapped by an Ibadan-based fraudster, with the help of Airtel, who she alleged harassed her after she went to their office to complain. After the fraudster swapped her sim, she said, her account was wiped clean of the N400k she had saved for her programme in the UK.

The story which was first published on micro blogging social media platform Instagram, got the attention of the bank and Nigerians after it was made public by an instagram news handle @instablog9ja via the url https://www.instagram.com/p/BC_HbpNRr2e/

Just yesterday, March 15th 2016, the young lady wrote to show her greatest appreciation to GTBank for refunding her stolen N400,000 even when Airtel ignored her and made her feel helpless.

In her words, she wrote “Goodevening to you. I would like to thank you yet again for a Page like yours and for being unbiased about bringing news as it is. God bless you.mI just wanted to update you like i said i would concerning this story. .

Airtel till now did absolutely nothing about my stolen money even though they admitted the Scam of 400k by sim swap came from one of their Mobile Shops,they never replied my letter from the Lawyer even after recieving it, neither did they try to reach out to me after my meeting with them last month.

I am presently in London for my Courses and just want to focus till i am back home to do the needful regarding them.THE GOOD NEWS IN ALL IS GTB MANAGEMENT TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES AND REFUNDED THE MONEY (400k) even though the fault was from Airtel and the explanation was as short as this – “The reversal was done based on the complaint of unauthorized deduction from your account which you reported at our branch”

I got the Alert yesterday. I am still in awe by this act of the Management of GTBANK and all i can say is God bless GTB. As for Airtel, I won’t stop till justice is served and Nigerians treated with respect by these multinationals. What if I had no other money to school? Or no support from Family and a platform like yours? I am indeed grateful. Thank you so much for everything.

Join the Movement to Build a Culture of Proper Waste Segregation and Disposal in Lagos. 

 

As part of its efforts to promote a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment, The Architects Place Ltd In conjunction with the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources has launched an initiative to provide proper waste disposal bins across the state.

 

The initiative, which is aimed at building a culture of proper waste segregation and disposal, is designed to encourage residents, businesses, and institutions to properly dispose their waste and recyclables.

The proper waste disposal bins, which are designed to accommodate different types of waste, including recyclables, organics, and non-recyclable waste, will be strategically located in public spaces, markets, and other high-traffic areas.

 

This will help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and waterways, improving environmental health and reducing the risk of disease. By providing separate bins for recyclables, the initiative will encourage residents and businesses to recycle more, reducing waste and conserving natural resources.

 

We urge all residents, businesses, and institutions in Lagos to join us in this effort to build a culture of proper waste segregation and disposal. Together, we can make a difference and create a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment for all.

 

For more information on the proper waste disposal bin initiative, please contact:

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama has rejected the bail request by former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.

 

Bello is standing trial, along with two others, on an alleged N110bn money laundering charge brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

 

Justice Maryanne Anenih, in a ruling on Tuesday, faulted the competence of Bello’s bail application, stating that it was filed prematurely.

 

Justice Anenih held that, since the application was made when Bello was neither in custody nor before the court, it was deemed incompetent.

 

She said: “Consequently, the instant application, having been filed prematurely, is hereby refused.”
