Corps Member Says She Still Owes ₦191,000 After Alleged Fraudulent Loan on Lost Phone
A Lagos-based corps member says an unknown person used her missing phone to obtain a ₦246,000 loan through her Access Bank account in November 2023. She said she discovered the alleged fraud after ₦110,526 was deducted from her account the following month. She reported the matter to the bank, submitted an affidavit and police report, and later obtained transaction details showing that the funds were sent to a PalmPay account. According to her, Access Bank acknowledged the transaction as fraudulent but did not reverse the debit or remove the loan from her account. She says interest has raised the outstanding balance to ₦191,000 despite repeated complaints and legal action. The bank gave an automated acknowledgement after being contacted for comment, stating that a representative would respond within 24 to 72 hours.
