Akothee, widely known as Madam Boss, issued a stern warning to a certain bank on Monday after discovering that her account had been drained of over Kshs 500,000. She vehemently asserted that she had never withdrawn more than Kshs 30,000 in person at a bank branch and, if necessary, she would simply request the bank to raise her withdrawal limit.
Expressing her frustration, Akothee emphasized that she had alerted the bank about this issue and demanded a resolution; otherwise, she threatened to pay a visit to their headquarters the following Monday, stating, “they will feel my presence in their headquarters on Monday.”
In a lengthy social media post, Akothee questioned the safety of keeping money in banks and shared her personal experiences with a well-established bank that had managed her finances for years. She admitted to not regularly scrutinizing her bank statements, believing that the bank was a reliable institution. However, her trust was shattered when her account was compromised, and the bank failed to address the issue despite it being reported in February 2022. Akothee expressed frustration at the bank’s prolonged and unsatisfactory responses, which she described as “long stories.”
She also highlighted that she did not have any outstanding bank loans and led a stress-free financial life. Her relationship with the bank primarily revolved around depositing and withdrawing money. Akothee then disclosed a recent incident that occurred on September 12th, where a substantial amount of money was withdrawn from her account via an ATM, even though she had never withdrawn more than Kshs 30,000 from an ATM herself. To access larger sums, she typically contacted the bank to extend her withdrawal limit. Akothee found it incredulous that someone could withdraw over Kshs 500,000 within just two days using an ATM.
She expressed her dissatisfaction with the bank’s handling of the situation, noting that they had taken her in circles and offered no satisfactory explanation for how her money had disappeared. Akothee concluded her post by reiterating her intent to visit the bank’s headquarters with her team on Monday to demand the return of her funds. She emphasized her determination, stating that if it came to a battle, so be it, and urged the bank to resolve the matter promptly. In the meantime, she decided to take a break from her financial concerns and enjoy some leisure time after a week of hard work. Akothee’s message was clear: she expected her money to be back in her account by the upcoming Monday.
