Abroad Returnee Raises Alarm Over Missing ₦150m From UBA Account, Bank Responds
LAGOS MAY 26TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Popular Nigerian activist Harrison Gwamnishu has given an update on the widely discussed case of a Nigerian returnee who lost ₦150 million from his United Bank for Africa (UBA) account under suspicious circumstances.
The case gained public attention after a video emerged of the victim, who remains unnamed, explaining how ₦150 million vanished from his account in 2023. He stated that the bank told him the money was disbursed after receiving reports of his supposed death—despite the fact that he is very much alive and has since returned to Nigeria to reclaim his funds.

Sharing the victim’s story on Instagram, Gwamnishu disclosed that those behind the fraud obtained a fake death certificate and used it to secure a court probate order, which was then used to withdraw the funds. The victim alleged that UBA had him moving from one branch to another without resolving the matter or reimbursing the stolen money.
“The man they declared dead in the bank and wiped out over one hundred million naira,” Gwamnishu wrote in the video caption. “UBA bank reached out and they assured they are on his matter. It will interest you to know that before the money was awarded to unknown recipients, they obtained a Death certificate of a living being and went to probate at the high court to obtain a court order.”
He continued, “Currently, the name the bank officials mentioned to us were the recipient, the victim, doesn’t know them. Please tag @centralbankng and @ubagroup. The bank will be held liable. They know what happened.”
Gwamnishu also called on the public to demand accountability by tagging both the Central Bank of Nigeria and UBA on social media.
