How ₦1,450,000 of my hard-earned money disappeared from my Kuda account @joinkuda @kudahelp_ng and nobody is helping.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Ibadan.
An AgroPreneur.
Recognized as one of the most outstanding student AgroPreneurs in 2024 by NAAS South-West.

I built my businesses legitimately; selling men’s fashion items, sneakers, and supplying day-old chicks across Nigeria.

I don’t smoke.
I don’t drink.
I don’t do fraud.

I hustle. Legitimately.

On April 13, 2025, I received an email from Kuda Bank stating that a lien had been placed on my account due to a “fraudulent inflow.”

Fraudulent?

I was shocked.

The money in question ₦2,450,000 came from a transaction on Bybit (a crypto trading platform where I had saved and sold assets) but met #1,450,000 in my Kuda @kudahelp_ng @joinkuda

The buyers paid me.
I had receipts.
I had transaction evidence.
I released my assets only after confirming payment.

Yet my account was frozen.

When I contacted Kuda @joinkuda , I was told there was a court order linked to something called “Pyramid Bank” , a name I have NEVER heard of in my life.

It’s Nigeria, you people will say snake swallows money! How did money get from the bank in the first place?!

The payments I received were from Moniepoint accounts. I was only a second beneficiary.

Still, my money was locked.

I was told to get a lawyer.

The first lawyer asked for a percentage of the ₦1.45M immediately, money I did not even have access to.

At that time, I had just resumed my final year in school.
I had already lost my father after secondary school.
I lost my mother in 300 level.

I had no parents to run to.
Only myself and my brothers.

So I focused on graduating.

Then one day, during my semester exams, I checked my account.

The ₦1,450,000 was gone.

Not on hold.
Not pending.
Gone.

No transaction history.
No reversal trail.

Just gone.

I contacted Kuda again.@kudahelp_ng @kudabusiness
They said receipts were not enough.
They said I should get a court order.

How does a victim get a court order to recover his own legitimate earnings?

Another lawyer later told me quietly:

“Forget the money. Many people are in court already. No progress.”

So this is Nigeria?

Where criminals walk free…
But innocent youths lose their hard-earned money?

Where a young entrepreneur can trade legitimately, provide evidence, and still be punished?

I reported to the Central Bank of Nigeria on October 5, 2025.

No response.

I have:
– All receipts
– All emails
– The alleged court order copy
– Evidence of Bybit transaction
– Payment confirmations

I am not asking for sympathy.

I am asking for justice.

₦1,450,000 is not small money.
It represents sweat.
Late nights.
Legitimate hustle.

Nigeria should protect its honest youths ,not exhaust them.

I am calling on:
Kuda Bank @kudahelp_ng @kudabusiness @joinkuda
Central Bank of Nigeria @cenbank
Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission @fccpcnigeria
@SaharaReporters @PremiumTimesng

Please investigate this.

Return my money.

Let Nigeria be a country where the innocent do not suffer for crimes they did not commit.

If you believe in fairness, please retweet, please retweet, please retweet 🙏🙏🙏
