A Nigerian man, known as @leodey4u on X, shared a worrying experience online. He said that over ₦1 million was taken from his Zenith Bank account without his permission. This has gotten a lot of people talking on social media. Eyes of Lagos reports this story.
He said he didn’t know about the missing money until a few days after it happened, when he checked his Zenith Bank account on his phone.
In his post, he showed that ₦1,185,691.07 was taken out of his account on February 6, 2026. He doesn’t know why the money was taken.
He was shocked and said he didn’t know about this until almost a week later.
He wrote, I just logged in to my Zenith Bank app only to see that I was debited 1 million+ six days ago for what I don’t know.
He also mentioned that this isn’t the first time money has disappeared from his account without explanation. In December 2025, ₦6,701.83 was taken out, and he didn’t know why.
Because of these problems, he decided to take all his remaining money out of the account.
He added, This is actually not the first time they’re tampering with my money… I don sha clear the account; they no fit see my penny again.
His post quickly spread online, and many Nigerians responded with worry, jokes, and suggestions.
Some people told him to report the issue to the bank and other financial organisations right away. Others were surprised by how much money was involved.
Stories about unauthorised transactions are becoming more common on social media. Customers are asking for better security, quicker ways to solve disputes, and clearer information from banks.
As of now, there has been no official response to this specific complaint.
Financial experts usually advise customers to tell their bank immediately if they see any suspicious activity. They should also block their cards and make an official complaint so the bank can investigate and try to get the money back.
