Investigation also revealed that highly
respected personalities in the state, students, business men and women
as well as civil servants had deposited huge amount of money in the bank
with the hope of collecting 100% interest every month.

An investor, Mr.
Zango Josiah, said he invested N100,000 with the hope of getting 100
percent interest every month but was surprised to hear that the
management of the bank had disappeared this morning.

Another investor, Peter Eze, who
invested N125,000, said the presence of mobile police personnel and some
new generation banks around the area was what gave him the impression
that the business was genuine.
