A Nigerian man was caught on camera attempting to commit suicide inside the United Bank of Africa (UBA) in Lagos after his money was released to cyber fraudsters.
In the video shared by a Facebook user, Floyd Nzeogwu Mordi, the man could be seen disrupting banking activities as he attempted to hang himself inside the bank hall.
The young man, who was held by the bank officials to prevent from tying a wire around his neck to strangle himself, was heard saying that the hackers stole over N450,000 after they gained access to his UBA account.
Sharing the video, Mordi wrote: “Someone hacked his account and he went to report, luckily they traced the hacker’s account and blocked it. He was asked to go to court to prove that he didn’t transfer money to the hacker’s account.
“On getting to the bank with the court order, he was told that they have released the fund to the hackers again. I won’t mention the name of the bank. The guy mentioned it, though. It’s iju branch , Lagos.😊 Everything is wrong with this country… This is a mess😰”
