BBN Winner Mercy Eke’s ₦100 Million Trapped in Heritage Bank Crisis
Central Bank of Nigeria has taken away Heritage Bank’s permission to operate because the bank has had money problems for five years and couldn’t recover bad loans. Yemi Cardoso, who leads the Central Bank, decided it was time to do this.
Many customers of the bank are upset. Mercy Eke, who won money on the Big Brother Naija show, is one of them. She was told to put her prize money, which is a lot (over ₦100 million), in Heritage Bank. She didn’t know the bank was not doing well.
The NDIC, which protects bank customers, says people with N5 million or less in their accounts will get their money back in one week. But people like Mercy Eke, who have more money saved, will have to wait until the bank sells its things to get their money back.
This news is a big reminder for everyone to be careful with their money and always know how safe their bank is. If you have money in Heritage Bank, you should talk to the NDIC to know what to do next.
