A Nigerian lady has sparked outrage online after reporting unusual deductions from her bank accounts years after obtaining a COVID-19 intervention loan of N250,000.

The young woman, Maria-Goretti Jiwuaku, posted her experience on Facebook, stating that she initially thought the money was a government empowerment award rather than a loan that needed to be repaid.

How She Received the COVID-19 Funds
Maria revealed that she collected the money during the epidemic as part of the “Hope Uzodinma 250k COVID-19 Empowerment,” a program named after Hope Uzodinma.

According to her, she was told at the time that the cash were a giveaway intended to help citizens deal with the economic difficulties brought by COVID-19.

The first debit alert arrived years later.
She said that her shock started roughly three years after she received the money, when N110,000 was debited from the bank account she used to collect the loan.

Maria stated she ceased using the account after that, believing the deductions had finished.

Fresh Deductions from Multiple Accounts
However, she recently received more debit alerts, this time from other bank accounts tied to her identity.

Read her words below:

“Omo if you see anywhere they are sharing free money in Nigeria, no involve me oh.

I collected the Hope Uzodinma 250k COVID 19 Empowerment.
They said it was a dash oh.

3 years back they withdrew 110k from the particular account I used to collect the money.
I stopped using the account.

I just said let me sleep now and saw debits, my eyes first blur.

The debits were from my different accounts which means they have access to all my accounts.

Please how do I check the balance I have to pay?
Does the money have interest?

God abeg oh”
