But yesterday, March 15th 2016, the young lady wrote a letter to the bank to show her appreciation to GTBank for refunding her stolen N400,000 even when Airtel ignored her and made her feel helpless.
“Good evening to you. I would like to thank you yet again for a Page like yours and for being unbiased about bringing news as it is. God bless you
“Airtel till now did absolutely nothing about my stolen money even though they admitted the Scam of 400k by sim swap came from one of their Mobile Shops, they never replied my letter from the Lawyer even after receiving it, neither did they try to reach out to me after my meeting with them last month.
“I am presently in London for my courses and just want to focus till i am back home to do the needful regarding them. The good news in all is gtb management took it upon them and refunded the money (400k) even though the fault was from Airtel and the explanation was as short as this – “The reversal was done based on the complaint of unauthorized deduction from your account which you reported at our branch"
“I got the alert yesterday. I am still in awe by this act of the Management of GTBANK and all i can say is God bless GTB. As for Airtel, I won’t stop till justice is served and Nigerians treated with respect by these multinationals. What if I had no other money to school? Or no support from Family and a platform like yours? I am indeed grateful. Thank you so much for everything,” she wrote.
