Reality TV star and businesswoman, Mercy Eke is one of the millions of Nigerians who will be affected when Heritage Bank goes under!
The Big Brother Naija 2019 winner cried out on her official X (formerly known as Twitter) today, June 6, that she could be at risk of losing over N100M to the bank which recently lost their operating licence.
Mercy Eke wrote, “I really don’t know how to react about this. I have been hoping for the best, thinking there’s a way out. #HeritageBank”.
A concerned fan who commented on the post asked, “Omg, I hope you don’t have an account with them?”. Mercy Eke replied, “I do. I have above N100M with them”.
Another fan asked what her (Mercy Eke) account manager was doing to manage the situation and the businesswoman replied, “She lured me into fixing my money knowing fully well there’s been issues with the bank”.
Furthermore, Mercy Eke revealed that the only reason she has an account with Heritage Bank was the condition attached to claiming her prize money for winning the Big Brother show, seeing as the Bank was a major sponsor of the reality show in 2019.
Recall that last week, The Central Bank of Nigeria announced the immediate revocation of the operating license of Heritage Bank, throwing many Nigerians into panic.
