The Nigerian lady based in Italy, Glory Omokaro, accused the bank of emptying her account of N68 million, leaving her with a meager N3,000.
The shocking revelation was made during a live broadcast on the popular Berekete Family programme by Peter Eberobe, who represented Omokaro on the programme.
Despite her pleas for an explanation, the bank was unable to provide a reasonable reason for the disappearance of her funds.
