Man spotted depositing bags of money in a bank following CBN’s plan to redesign naira

A Nigerian woman has expressed shock after seeing a man believed to be a customer depositing heaps of money in a bank.

In a video which surfaced online, two men could be seen offloading money which was carried to the bank in Ghana-must-go bags.

They were bringing out bundles of N500 and N1k notes, and dropping them on the teller’s counter.

The lady who filmed them said she visited the bank to withdraw just N1,000 only for her to see a man carrying bags into the banking hall.

She linked the decision of the customer to deposit such amount to the CBN’s planned redesigning of some naira notes.

CorrectNG reports that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) announced days ago that it will start circulating newly redesigned N200, N500, and N1000 naira notes from December 15, 2022.

The CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele made this known during a special briefing, where he noted that naira notes were redesigned following approval by the Federal Government.

He also explained that the new and existing naira notes shall remain legal tender and circulate together until 31st of January, 2023, when the existing currencies shall seize to be used for transactions.

In reaction, IG user balogunpersonalshopper commented; I thought banks are suppose to move clients like this to a more secure space to make their transactions? This is not safe at all. I still stand with saying “Stop recording people without their permission” This should be a ‘jailable’ offense. ?
