A Twitter user with the handle, Orji Okosisi, took to the platform to seek assistance in identifying a lady who allegedly used her position as a staff member at Access Bank, Iyana Ipaja Branch in Lagos State, to scam his friend out of N980,000.
The accused individual is identified as Teni Olurotimi. The Twitter user shared images of Teni Olurotimi and her mother, urging anyone with information to reach out via direct message.
According to the post, it has been reported that Teni Olurotimi has since resigned from her position at Access Bank and relocated from Lagos State to Ogun State.
Orji Okosisi called upon relevant authorities, including the Ogun State and Lagos State Police Commands, to investigate the alleged scam and urged Twitter users to retweet the post and bring it to the attention of the authorities.
Further details were shared in the post, as the victim recounted his interaction with Teni Olurotimi.
The victim explained that before leaving Nigeria for Canada, he had encountered the lady, who worked as a customer care representative at Access Bank.
She allegedly offered to assist him with obtaining a Personal Travel Allowance while he was abroad.
The victim trusted her and transferred N100,000 as a service fee for initiating the transaction. Subsequently, he set up a Canadian bank account and provided the necessary details to Teni Olurotimi.
The victim claimed that Teni Olurotimi informed him that the PTA was ready and amounted to $2,000, equivalent to N920,000 at the time.
However, after waiting for an extended period without receiving the PTA, the victim’s cousin visited the bank branch where Teni Olurotimi worked, only to discover that she had resigned and relocated to Ogun State.
The victim stated that his calls to her went unanswered and he learned that she was planning to travel abroad. It was revealed that Teni Olurotimi is originally from Edo State but was born and raised in Lagos State, and she is married with children.
The victim specified that the money transfer to Teni Olurotimi’s account occurred on April 27, 2023 to an Access Bank account with the details “Teni OLUROTIMI- 1586131142- Access bank.”
The Twitter user also tagged law enforcement agencies, including the Lagos State Police Command, Ogun State Police Command, and the Police Public Relations Officer, Ben Hundeyin, in the hopes of receiving their assistance in resolving the matter.
