Peter Okoye Threatens To Sue Popular Banks For Allowing Scammers Open Account In His Name

Peter Okoye of the music group, Psquare, has expressed his frustration over fraudulent accounts opened in his name.

KanyiDaily recalls that Peter Okoye, who previously anchored a lottery scheme, Zoom Lifestyle, had severely exposed fraudsters who impersonated him using his previous videos to deceive unsuspecting people on social media.

Taking to his Instagram page on Wednesday, the singer revealed he intends to take legal action against Polaris Bank and Access Bank for allowing these accounts to be opened without proper identification and verification.

He revealed that he plans to address this matter with his legal team, stressing that he is determined to protect his reputation and save innocent victims from scams.

Peter Okoye is also urging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to take note of the situation as he vows to call out more banks involved.

He wrote, “Enough is enough!! It’s either it’s an inside job or otherwise! I have a name to protect here and save some of these innocent victims! So get ready for me and my legal team!

“How can @polarisbankltd allow someone to open an account in the name of “PETER OKOYE PSQUARE” and @myaccessbank you also allow someone open an account name “PETER OKOYE PSQUARE” without valid means of identification, no biometrics, no BVN, no verified address or even utility bill to correspond with the address of the account owner. Now they are using my name to scam innocent people.

“I am suing this bank for damages and calling them out! One after the other. @officialefcc take not! Enough is enough. Calling out more banks.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Peter Okoye had previously taken to social media to lambast fraud victims who called him out for failing to pay back a loan he allegedly promised them.
