How ₦1,450,000 of my hard-earned money disappeared from my Kuda account @joinkuda @kudahelp_ng and nobody is helping. I am a recent graduate of the University of Ibadan. An AgroPreneur. Recognized as one of the most outstanding student AgroPreneurs in 2024 by NAAS South-West. I built my businesses legitimately; selling men’s fashion items, sneakers, and supplying day-old chicks across Nigeria. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I don’t do fraud. I hustle. Legitimately. On April 13, 2025, I received an email from Kuda Bank stating that a lien had been placed on my account due to a “fraudulent inflow.” Fraudulent? I was shocked. The money in question ₦2,450,000 came from a transaction on Bybit (a crypto trading platform where I had saved and sold assets) but met #1,450,000 in my Kuda @kudahelp_ng @joinkuda The buyers paid me. I had receipts. I had transaction evidence. I released my assets only after confirming payment. Yet my account was frozen. When I contacted Kuda @joinkuda , I was told there was a court order linked to something called “Pyramid Bank” , a name I have NEVER heard of in my life. It’s Nigeria, you people will say snake swallows money! How did money get from the bank in the first place?! The payments I received were from Moniepoint accounts. I was only a second beneficiary. Still, my money was locked. I was told to get a lawyer. The first lawyer asked for a percentage of the ₦1.45M immediately, money I did not even have access to. At that time, I had just resumed my final year in school. I had already lost my father after secondary school. I lost my mother in 300 level. I had no parents to run to. Only myself and my brothers. So I focused on graduating. Then one day, during my semester exams, I checked my account. The ₦1,450,000 was gone. Not on hold. Not pending. Gone. No transaction history. No reversal trail. Just gone. I contacted Kuda again.@kudahelp_ng @kudabusiness They said receipts were not enough. They said I should get a court order. How does a victim get a court order to recover his own legitimate earnings? Another lawyer later told me quietly: “Forget the money. Many people are in court already. No progress.” So this is Nigeria? Where criminals walk free… But innocent youths lose their hard-earned money? Where a young entrepreneur can trade legitimately, provide evidence, and still be punished? I reported to the Central Bank of Nigeria on October 5, 2025. No response. I have: – All receipts – All emails – The alleged court order copy – Evidence of Bybit transaction – Payment confirmations I am not asking for sympathy. I am asking for justice. ₦1,450,000 is not small money. It represents sweat. Late nights. Legitimate hustle. Nigeria should protect its honest youths ,not exhaust them. I am calling on: Kuda Bank @kudahelp_ng @kudabusiness @joinkuda Central Bank of Nigeria @cenbank Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission @fccpcnigeria @SaharaReporters @PremiumTimesng Please investigate this. Return my money. Let Nigeria be a country where the innocent do not suffer for crimes they did not commit. If you believe in fairness, please retweet, please retweet, please retweet 🙏🙏🙏
