Access Bank Set to face Charges as N500m goes Missing In Dead Man’s Account

Access Bank Set to face Charges as alleged missing N500m in the account of a dead man, Mr. Idongesit Edeth Awah, with Access Bank has been made public by the deceased sister.

The late account owner’s sister, Bessie Edeth Awah, alleged Access Bank of siphoning her brother’s N500m.

The woman accused Access Bank of denying the existence of the fund in her late brother’s account.

The matter, which has generated a lot of attention, was brought to the fore by social media activist Martins Otse popularly called VeryDarkMan.

VeryDarkMan, in a video, said the late brother, Mr. Idongesit Edeth Awah, before his death, told his sister about the four bank accounts he was operating with – Keystone, Guarantee Trust, Diamond, and Diamond Access Banks, with the amount in each bank.

VeryDarkMan noted that Keystone and Guarantee Trust banks gave the woman her brother’s money when she went there to claim it, adding that Diamond Bank initially denied that her brother had money with them but later gave her the fund.

He, however, said the last bank, Diamond Access, refused to acknowledge the over N500m in the late man’s account.

The social media influencer, while narrating what happened, said, “A man named Idongesit Edeth Awah died on the 17th of April, 2019. While on the sick bed, because he didn’t have a will, he called his sister and told her every property he had in his name. That includes the money he has in every bank that he opened in Nigeria.

“After the man died, the sister, Bessie Edeth Awah, went to get a letter of administration from the High Court, Kaduna. With this, she will be able to claim all the property her brother has including the money in the banks
