Man recounts encounter with CBN staff
Sharing the story on X, Tosin Olugbenga explained that in 2019, he regularly transported two people from Arepo to Lagos Island every morning. Throughout that period, both passengers maintained that they were staff of First Bank.
It was only after he stopped the transport arrangement that the truth surfaced. Tosin said:
"In 2019, I do carry two people from Arepo to the island every morning. They both told me they work at First Bank. It was after I stopped working in my own company and I no longer carry them that one of them later told me they work at CBN".
Tosin further noted that the decision to hide their true employment was intentional. In his words:
"For their own safety, many who work at CBN don’t disclose to even their family members".
