Peter Okoye has threatened lawsuit against Polaris and Access banks for allegedly abetting scammers.
He wondered how banks allowed the individuals to create accounts in his name to dupe people, promising to take legal action.
“Enough is Enough!!!” the music star stated in a post on his X handle. “It’s either it’s an inside job or otherwise! I have a name to protect here and save some of these innocent victims! So get ready for me and my legal team!”
“How can @polarisbankltd allow someone to open an account in the name of ‘PETER OKOYE PSQUARE’ and @myaccessbank you also allowed someone open an account name ‘PETER OKOYE PSQUARE’ without valid means of identification, no biometrics, no BVN, no verified address or even utility bill to correspond with the address of the account owner.”
He lamented that the individuals scammed unsuspecting victims in his name, just as he called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to take appropriate action.
“Now they are using my name to scam innocent people! I am Suing this Banks for damages and calling them out! One after the other! @officialefcc take note! Enough is enough! Calling out more banks!”
The singer had also decried the situation last year, alleging that some Nigerian banks aided fraudsters to defraud people using his name.
