Drama As ‘Wonder Bank’ Owners Disappear With Customers Money In Kwara

A wonder bank located at Oniyangi, near Emir Road, Ilorin, Kwara State, became a drama and weeping center on Tuesday after scores of acclaimed customers besieged the premises of Ayonitemi Cooperative Business Finance, alleging that they had been defrauded by the firm.

Some furious and weeping customers gathered on the premises of the 'bank' as early as 7am, while alleging they had lost substantial amount of money ranging from N100,000 to N450,000 which they deposited in the finance house. They stated that they had been promised mouth watering financial offers if they made deposit in the bank.

A woman who spoke on the condition of anonymity reportedly said:

“I have been depositing money in the bank for some months. They promised that they will not disappoint us....They told us that they were from Kwara State and they had no other place to run to....So, I was convinced that this bank was real....I did not even inform my husband of my
transactions with them....Unfortunately, they disappointed us and ran away.”

Some of the angry 'customers' later descended on the office of the firm and carted away office furniture and items, including electronics.
