My name is Godwin.
Pls I want to share this. Let's all see this issues as we may all experience it during our ATM transactions. Is mr musa action taking access bank for failed N40,000 ATM transactions really worth going to court?

Here is the stories of what happens.

Mr Musa Baba-Panya, an Abuja-based Legal Practitioner has instituted a suit in the FCT High Court against Access Bank Plc claiming N100 million for alleged defamation of his character.

Mr Chidi Ifeonye, the counsel to the plaintiff, who filed the suit on May 26, made the process available to newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja.


The plaintiff had instituted the suit as a result of the bank’s failure to reverse the N40, 000 he claimed was debited from his Diamond bank account while using the defendant’s ATM facility on March 11.

The plaintiff had described N100 million claims as general, aggravated and punitive damages for the defamation.

Baba-Panya said that the defendant’s alleged recalcitrant attitude caused him grave embarrassment, hardship and trauma.

“After a considerable waiting, no response of any sort came forth from the defendant, till date, thus was left with no option than to institute this action,’’ he said.

The plaintiff averred that the money in debt was meant to execute a printing project at the ECWA Church, Maitama on that fateful day.

“The development was most unpleasant to both the printer and I. It especially put me in unwarranted ridicule and scrutiny among the Church folks,’’ he said.

The plaintiff is seeking a declaration finding the defendant liable for the defamation of his character via its negligent conduct against him.

The plaintiff is also urging the court to compel the bank to write a letter of apology copying the Customer Relation Manager platforms of the CBN-interbank system.

He also prayed for apology letter to be forwarded to the Customer Relation Manager of Diamond Bank Plc and to the ECWA Church, Maitama, Abuja.

Baba-Panya was also seeking the award of N40, 000 being the alleged liquidated money in debt.

He also sought an interest award at inter-bank rate on the money debt effective March 11, until final judgment.

The plaintiff further asked for award of 10 per cent interest on the final judgment sum until final liquidation.

He urged the court to grant him an award of N500, 000 as cost of legal cost, including solicitor’s fees.

The matter has however not been slated for hearing.

If everyone has been suing for issues like this, many banks in Nigeria will no longer exist.
Modified : Many people who have quoted me do not really understand my point. Lemme shed more light, the rate at which banks mess up with the money meant to be kept safe by them is getting higher and this is mostly through some Unaccountable deductions and unexplainable charges. If everybody starts pressing charges every time such occurs again, the banks will be more careful as they will realise that the effects of the charges (compensations) , because we know it's going to be many, will likely cripple them. This will prompt them to serve customers better.

The guy is a hungry lawyer, seeking for every little avenue to enrich himself. A typical Nigerian is hospitable, tolerant, patient and sacrificial.

You don't understand why western societies work, and ours doesn't.

Your definition of a typical Nigerian is sad and unfortunate.

No wonder government and politicians run circle around the citizens without fail.
