Mercy Eke claims that she possesses over N100 million in Heritage Bank

After the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) revoked Heritage Bank’s operating licence, reality actress Mercy Eke expressed her distress, revealing that she had more than N100 million in her account with the bank.

Eke stated that she established the account due to the bank’s sponsorship of the fourth version of the Big Brother Naija reality programme, which she emerged as the winner of.

In addition, she held her account manager responsible for “enticing” her to deposit her funds at the bank, despite being well aware of the bank’s problems.

On her X account on Thursday, Eke expressed her uncertainty in responding to this situation. I have been optimistic, believing that there is a potential solution to the situation. The text “[Hash tag] HeritageBank.”

In the comment area, a fan inquired, “Lambo, do you have an account with them?” Eke responded affirmatively, stating, “I do…” and possess a quantity exceeding 100 metres.

A another supporter inquired, “What was the initial reason behind your decision to establish an account with them?” The reality star responded by stating that the bank in question had sponsored the reality show during their performance. In order to get payment, they were instructed to create an account with that bank. I mistakenly proceeded to deposit funds into the account… I am currently filled with remorse, so there is no need to worry.

A fan inquired, “What is the current stance of your account manager?”

Mercy Eke replied, “She enticed me into resolving my financial matters, despite being aware of the ongoing problems with the bank…” I am at a loss for words to describe her, and I hold myself responsible.

The reality star has also said that she has formally notified the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Commission in an attempt to recover her funds.

The Nigerian Deposit Insurance Commission has just initiated the liquidation procedure of Heritage Bank, which involves verifying and compensating the bank’s depositors.

Nevertheless, the NDIC declared that the reimbursement process will commence with those who have deposits of N5 million or less.
