Mercy Eke at risk of losing N100m as CBN Revoked Heritage Bank licence

Reality star Mercy Eke has voiced her distress over the closure of Heritage Bank, revealing she has over N100 million in her account.
The recent revocation of Heritage Bank‘s operating license by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has sent shockwaves through the banking sector. Among those affected is reality TV star Mercy Eke, who has publicly lamented having over N100 million in the beleaguered bank. This situation not only highlights the personal financial risks for Eke but also underscores the broader implications for all Heritage Bank customers..
Mercy Eke, winner of the fourth edition of Big Brother Naija, took to social media to express her distress over the situation. She explained that she opened an account with Heritage Bank because the institution sponsored the reality show. Eke feels betrayed by her account manager, whom she claims encouraged her to fix her money in the bank despite knowing its financial instability.
“I really don’t know how to react about this … I have been hoping for the best .. thinking there’s a way out…. #HeritageBank,” Eke wrote on her social media handle.
In response to fans’ inquiries, Eke revealed that she had over N100 million in her account and regretted funding it, given the bank’s issues.
Heritage Bank customers are now facing significant uncertainty. The Nigerian Deposit Insurance Commission (NDIC) has begun the liquidation process, prioritizing refunds for those with deposits of N5 million and below. This raises concerns for individuals and businesses with larger sums deposited, like Mercy Eke.
Mercy Eke’s plight is a cautionary tale for many Nigerians. As the NDIC works through the liquidation process, customers of Heritage Bank will be watching closely, hoping for a resolution that safeguards their hard-earned money. For now, Eke and others like her can only wait and hope for a favorable outcome.
Taking to her X handle, Eke expressed her frustration and uncertainty about recovering her funds. She admitted feeling regretful for trusting the bank and her account manager, who she claims misled her into fixing her money.
In an effort to recover her money, Eke has submitted a notice to the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Commission (NDIC). The NDIC has started the liquidation process for Heritage Bank, beginning with verification and payment of depositors with balances of N5 million and below. This process, however, leaves high-value depositors like Eke uncertain about the timeline for their refunds.
For those affected, here are some steps to consider:
Contact NDIC: Submit a notice to the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Commission to begin the claims process.
Seek Legal Advice: Consult with legal experts to understand your rights and explore potential actions.
Monitor Updates: Stay informed through official channels for the latest updates on the liquidation process and any new policies.
The Heritage Bank crisis, highlighted by Mercy Eke’s significant financial loss, serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities within the banking system. Customers must remain vigilant, informed, and proactive in safeguarding their financial interests.

Another headache for Portable as police declare him wanted

The Ogun State Police Command has declared Habeeb Okikiola Olalomi, popularly known as “Portable”, wanted for his alleged involvement in a violent attack on government officials carrying out their lawful duties.
A statement released by the spokesperson of the command, SP Omolola Odutola, says on February 5, 2025, at about 1000hrs, officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office named TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi were conducting an enforcement exercise at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, when they encountered an elderly man, later identified as Portable’s father, at Odogwu Bar in the area. Upon identifying themselves and requesting the approved building plan, the father informed them that his son was unavailable.
‘’However, moments later, Portable, armed with a firearm and other dangerous weapons, led a gang of nine thugs in a violent attack on the unarmed officials. The enforcement officers sustained various bodily injuries but managed to escape and reported the incident to the Ota Area Command, which subsequently escalated the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further action.
Nine accomplices were arrested, but Portable fled the scene and has since gone into hiding. Multiple formal invitations were sent to him, requesting his presence at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, which he deliberately ignored without cause or legal representation.
Following his repeated evasion, the Ogun State Police Command has obtained a valid court order declaring him wanted”
Odutola mentioned that members of the public are strongly advised to assist the police by providing any valuable information that can lead to his immediate arrest. Anyone found aiding or harbouring the suspect will face legal consequences.
‘’For any relevant information, kindly report to the nearest police station or contact the Ogun State Police Command through its official communication channels or police public relations department.”
