Personal Assistant to formal President Muhammadu Buhari on New Media and Digital Communications, Bashir Ahmad has finally received the #1,500,000 he mistakenly sent to Obi Ikechukwu Marcel

Previous thread

I just can’t understand why some of our institutions fail to protect us. In late December 2024, I mistakenly transferred money to the wrong bank belonging to one Obi Ikechukwu Marcel. I reported the incident to ProvidusBank, the bank I made the transfer from, and they directed me to myAccessBank, the recipient’s bank.

At Access Bank, they ed Mr. Ikechukwu, who confirmed receiving the money but was unwilling to return it.

When the bank representative informed him that his would be flagged to prevent him from any further transactions, he then asked for some time to decide. However, after a week, when they tried to reach him again, he stopped answering calls. Eventually, Access Bank restricted his , yet they told me there was nothing more they could do unless I obtained a court order.

To my shock, when I went to the court to obtain the order, I was told that I had to pay 20% of the disputed amount upfront before they would proceed with the process.

Honestly, this experience has left me deeply frustrated. How can a system that should protect us instead make us so vulnerable?

This is not just about my case, it is about the lack of institutional that allows injustice to thrive.

Finally update

After calling out all parties involved (Providus Bank, Access Bank, Obi Marcel) over three months ago, and seven months after the initial erroneous transaction, I am relieved to share that this case has finally been resolved.

Back in late December 2024, I mistakenly transferred money to the wrong , belonging to one Obi Ikechukwu Marcel. Though he acknowledged receiving the funds but refused to return them. So Access Bank initially restricted his , but informed me that nothing further could be done unless I obtained a court order.

So, after going through all legal procedures, I finally secured a court order which compelled Access Bank to force Mr. Ikechukwu to eventually return my money, N1,500,000, something he had refused to do voluntarily or honorably.

Some people are stubborn o

Money that is not your own you refused to return even with calls and national publicity, the guy was like he is waiting for EFCC and DSS in his house to put gun on his head

but just imagine if Buhari was still in power and this guy was still in office, the possibility of the receiver still spending good time in prison will be very high.
