Yemi Solade Accuses GTBank of Independence Day Charge

Yemi Solade, a Nollywood actor, publicly criticized Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) for deducting ₦18,912 from his account, which he described as a service charge he did not understand. In a video posted on his Instagram on Nigeria's 66th Independence Day, Solade expressed his outrage, calling the deduction an "independence robbery." He questioned the legitimacy of the charge, stating he had been a customer since 1995 and had not made any purchases that would warrant such a fee.

Solade encouraged other customers who might have experienced similar deductions to speak out against what he termed theft and oppression by the bank. His video caption reflected his frustration, stating, “What an independence robbery.

It’s all banks. It’s like they are gathering success through our money.”.
