November30,2022
Seven days after FIJ published a story on how Ibrahim Gaya, a Port Harcourt resident, lost N169,000 to a fake customer representative of the United Bank for Africa (UBA), the bank has refunded the money.
Gaya was scammed on November 1, after sharing his ordeal on Twitter about an earlier unresolved complaint he had lodged with the bank.
Following a report on November 22, the bank told FIJ that the reversal of a fraudulent debit was not guaranteed
However, Gaya expressed his gratitude to FIJ after UBA returned his money on the evening of Tuesday.
“Thank you so much. UBA just refunded me. Thank you so much for your efforts,” he said.
