First Capital Bank (FCB) has refunded a farmer identified as Kitmass Ngoleka from Lumbazi Township money amounting to MK3 million which was stolen at the bank early last year.

The bank refunded the customer following an intervention by the Competition and Fair Trading Commission (CFTC).

Social Commentator Onjezani Kenani who flashed out the news last year has confirmed of the development in a statement posted on his official facebook page.

According to Kenani, the refund took place last week.

Ngoleka is said to have made deposits – no withdrawal, only deposits – nine in total, and by 4 December 2020, his balance was K2,021,985.34.

The money was realized from maize sale.

Unfortunately the money vanished without his knowledge and when he enquired with the bank it was discovered that the money was siphoned using the following airtel numbers; +265 995 727 359, +265 995 798 051, +265 997 476 978,+265 995 276 446.

The bank distanced itself from the scandal and asked Ngoleka to take the matter to anywhere.
