A Facebook user, Uwaifo Oviawe, who shared the news on his page, said the man died out of frustration on Monday afternoon after he was allegedly neglected by bank staff.

“A customer banking with one of the new generation banks in Port Harcourt has died due to frustration and unfriendly treatment by the customer service attendants of the bank.

“The man who is a customer of the new generation bank just died now in front of the bank. He was refused access to his own money since Friday even when he came with his next of kin.

“He was asked to go to the court to get an affidavit knowing the court is not in session,” the source said.

The source said the man following the task of getting an affidavit collapsed and died outside the bank.

However, the drama started at the open bank premises when a young lady and two men came to the scene demanding that the bank opens the access door so they could deposit the man’s remains in the banking hall.

The bank had shut operations based on the development and barred the panicking family members from accessing the hall.

“When he came today they said he should go and bring court affidavit and the man told them that he is sick and the courts are not on, they refused. He died out of frustration.”
