A Sterling Bank customer has raised an alarm over a man using the bank account to defraud Nigerians

The alleged fraudster, identified as Hezekiah Fadare of Graceful Seafoods, was said to have been using a Sterling Bank account 0127403422 to defraud many innocent Nigerians.

It was further gathered that the food firm was also found culpable in his fraudulent activities.

Speaking on the incident, a Sterling Bank customer disclosed that Fadare, with the phone number 07026321827, collected N38,500 through the bank account to supply snails at about 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, August 28, 2025.

The customer, who craved anonymity, said Fadare promised to deliver the items before 4 p.m. on Thursday.

The customer added: “When called later to remind him of the delivery, he said that was not the first time to defraud people, using the Sterling Bank account.

“Now, he has refused to pick his calls. Security agents have been contacted.

“Apparently, he has been using the Sterling Bank account, and possibly other accounts, to defraud people. Nigerians should note this.”
