“Never underestimate the power of social media” – NIGERIAN Actress, Afolabi says as bank returns her N500k after backlash

Popular actress, Kemi Afolabi has disclosed that the money her bank had withheld and about which she had complained had been refunded.

She cried out over the weekend, complaining that despite her protestations, a popular bank had held onto N510,000 that she had mistakenly deposited to a client for three months.

She wrote on her social media page; “Help tag @gtbank it’s been over 3 months that they held on to my N510,000. @gtbank kindly do the needful. I have been patient; I’m exhausted.”

She cautioned the public not to undervalue the power of social media after the outcomes of her online laments.

The Yoruba movie star updated her followers on Instagram on Tuesday, saying that her bank had fixed the problem and given her a refund.

Afolabi thanked her internet fans for helping her pressure the bank into acting after they had been dragging their feet for months.

She wrote: “GTB Fraud Unit made sure the money I erroneously transferred to their customer is returned to my account. Thank you all for helping me tag GTB. My dear! Never you underestimate the power of social media. Thank you all.”
