Ekezie said he had threatened to take Heritage Bank to court for refusing to allow him to move all his money domiciled with them to his Fidelity Bank account.

He said they eventually complied and would have their license revoked months later. Ekezie wrote on Facebook:

"One thing I enjoy about being a lawyer is that I never have to pay for legal services. I do it myself. Earlier this year I threatened to sue Heritage bank when they declined to allow me transfer all my money domiciled in their bank into my Fidelity bank account. They had to comply with the dictates of my demand. A few months later, the bank is history."

In the comment section, Ekezie revealed al his money was with Heritage Bank then.

"I practically had all my savings in that account at the time."

Man shares chat with ex-Heritage Bank worker

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man, Neme Love, had reacted to the liquidation of Heritage Bank.

Neme released his WhatsApp conversation with a former staff of Heritage Bank. In the released chat, Neme asked the unidentified ex-staff if he still worked with Heritage Bank.

According to the CBN, the revocation was due to Heritage Bank's board of directors failing to improve its financial performance. Mixed reactions have trailed the man's WhatsApp conversation with the ex-bank employee.
