RECESSION: Pandemonium looms as customers expose scam in First Bank
Pandemonium looms between First bank of Nigeria Plc and some of its customers who publicly accused the financial institution of perpetuating scam.
Some of the aggrieved customers on Monday took to a micro blogging site (Twitter) to expose some scams they alleged the financial institution is committing.
The customers anger and displeasure might not be unconnected with the decline in purchasing power of Nigerians as a result of the recession in the country.
