Big Brother Naija Reality star and actress, Mercy Eke has lamented the closure of Heritage Bank.
Following the CBN removing Heritage Bank's license this week, many customers of the bank have been left in uncertainty, concerned about the money they had in the bank.
Mercy Eke, winner of "Big Brother Naija" season 4, claims to have over ₦100 million in her bank account.
On June 6, 2024, Eke told X that she had hoped for the best since the news broke on Monday, June 3, 2024.
She tweeted: "I really don’t know how to react about this…I have been hoping for the best...thinking there’s a way out," she said.
A fan then asked the former winner why she chose Heritage Bank over the more popular banks and in response, she stated that she had to.
"That was the bank that sponsored BBN during my set, for them to pay our money we were advised to open an account with them… stupid me went ahead and funded the account…don’t worry I’m full of regrets right now," Eke explained.
It is worthy of note that Bashir Nuhu, the director of communications and public affairs, NDIC, in a statement, said that relevant laws necessitated immediate actions to safeguard depositors’ funds.
