I have over ₦100 million with them – Mercy Eke cries out over closure of Heritage Bank

Following the CBN revoking Heritage Bank’s licence this week, many customers of the bank have been left in limbo panicking over money they had in the bank.

One of such customers is “Big Brother Naija” season 4 winner, Mercy Eke, who says she had over ₦100 million in her account with the bank.

Taking to X on June 6, 2024, Eke said that she had been hoping for the best since the news broke on Monday, June 3, 2024.

“I really don’t know how to react about this…I have been hoping for the best…thinking there’s a way out,” she said.

Her followers promptly responded to her post, asking questions and reassuring her that she would get her money back.

A fan said, “Queen Mercy Eke CBN said they will attend to people with 5M or lower first before they attend to people with multiple millions but it may take time.” Eke responded, “That’s the problem. How can they pay 5 million from someone’s millions?”

When another concerned fan asked if she had an account with Heritage Bank, the reality TV star confirmed saying, “I do…and have above 100m with them.”

I do… and have above 100m with them .

A fan then asked the former winner why she chose Heritage Bank over the more popular banks and in response, she stated that she had to.

“That was the bank that sponsored BBN during my set, for them to pay our money we were advised to open an account with them… stupid me went ahead and funded the account…don’t worry I’m full of regrets right now,” Eke explained.
