Glory saved money in the account until it reached N68 million (GH¢1,000,000), and she hoped to use it when she finally moved back to Nigeria.

Upon her return to Nigeria in May 2023, she only discovered N3000 (GH¢44) in the bank account.

How GH¢1M was moved from lady's bank account

In 2021, her ATM card expired, and she called the bank manager to help her renew it, but she was told she must be physically present.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Glory could not make it to Nigeria back then. When she returned in May 2023, only N3000 (GH¢44) was left in the account.

She requested a bank statement, and it was discovered that money had been moved from the account in multiple tranches.
