Following a leaked email demanding that Muslims working at Polaris Bank, particularly their YES center, refrain from going to Friday prayers, Muslims across the country have stormed the bank, demanding that their accounts be closed immediately.
Aminu Soja claimed in a widely shared Facebook post that he and his fellow Muslims in Kano went into Bigot Bank and demanded that their accounts be closed.
Soja, who shared a photo of many Muslims, particularly those from the North, in the bank demanding the closure of their accounts, recounted how he and other Muslims went into the bank on Thursday to close their accounts but only succeeded in withdrawing all of their funds and leaving without closing the accounts.
Soja said:
“This is how we troops (sic) into the Bigot Bank this morning to withdraw and close our account. “But unfortunately, unable to do so.
“After I withdrew all funds living almost zero Naira, I requested a bank account closing form; the lady at the customer care shouted what happened? Alhaji, I replied, “Nosin” in my Hausa dialect; she stood up and ushered me to the manager’s office, and said, “sir same problem” the manager stood up and shook my hands instructed me to sit down. At the same time, he round-up with someone who I believed also came for the same issue.
