Access Bank has credited the domiciliary account belonging to Babalola Martins, a Lagos State-based entrepreneur, with $23.70.
This came after FIJ reported how the bank debited the sum twice from the entrepreneur’s account without his consent in early November.
An initial $23.70 had been refunded by the bank on November 7.
“My dollar account was credited with the second $23.70 that was indiscriminately debited from my account by Access Bank yesterday, December 18,” Martins told FIJ in a telephone conversation on Thursday.

“I have been expecting them to credit me with the amount a long time ago, but, it is better late than never. I would like to appreciate your organisation for the things you do for Nigerians.
“Thank you so much, FIJ. I appreciate your help. May God continue to bless you.”
On November 2, FIJ reported how the sum was deducted from Martins’ domiciliary account twice without his consent. The deductions occurred on October 5.
After the deductions, the entrepreneur wrote several emails and also paid a few visits to the bank’s branches but the issue remained unresolved.
Martins subsequently decided to report the matter to FIJ on November 1.
