A more proper heading should have been; Four Nigerian banks exploited account holders to the tune of around 2.5b Naira for account maintenance charges. Kikida ole!!!

Account Maintenance Charges are mere frauds. Nothing is done to maintain your account. If anything, they trade with your money & make profits. So charging you for keeping your money with them amounts to double jeopardy.

Ye! Im sweating. 🙄
