“N18,000, whole thousand! What did I buy from you? I’ve been with you since 1995. Almost N20,000. Why? If you are affected by this theft and oppression, let’s call GTB out.”
He captioned the video: “What an independence robbery. It’s all banks. It’s like they are gathering success through our money.”
Meanwhile, as of this report, GTBank has not responded to the actor’s accusation.
