After the said duration, the petitioner demanded for his principal sum and interest but was allegedly denied.


 “Upon receipt of the petition, other petitions with similar complaints started flooding in and investigations commenced. 


Investigation was extended to the defendant’s accounts at Guaranty Trust Bank and United Bank for Africa. Several responses were gotten and in GTB, he had like 10 accounts and they were analyzed accordingly.
