I almost committed suicide over 1.2 billion – First Allied customer
A sorrowful and aggrieved customer of First Allied Savings and Loans Limited called Madam Akua Yeboah who is trader at Kumasi central market has announced that she almost committed suicide by poising herself over her 1.2 billion old Ghana cedis which at the moment is locked up at the financial institution.
The money she sadly narrated amidst tears is an accumulated contributions of market women belonging to a group called “Onuado Ladies Association”.
*NARRATION*
As the leader for the group, it was agreed among members that the money(1.2 billion old Ghana Cedis did) should be kept in her custody.
She said she hid the money in her house for some few days a latter decided to open an accounts and deposit it at First Allied Savings and Loans Limited.
Madam Akua Yeboah broke into tears for 30 minutes and cried out that “…few days after depositing the money at the financial institution, I received report that first Allied Savings and Loans limited is collapsing and that management has refused to withdraw deposits to customers.”
She said since the news of the supposed collapse of First Allied Savings and Loans Limited broke out, she has tried everything possible to withdraw the money “…so that I will hand it over to respective members of the association and vindicate myself off the false embezzlement allegation peddled against me”
Due to the excessive pressure exerted on her by members of the group who thought she has squandered the money and her frequent worry over the matter, she was months ago diagnosed of cardiac disease (swollen heart) by medics.
“I at one time submitted my medical reports on the condition of my heart to management of the institution so that they will sympathise with me and release my deposits”.
She said management of First Allied Savings and Loans(Adum branch) didn’t give her a reception let alone to have a look at her medical report.
Daily pressure exerted on her by members of the association to refund their contribution according her became unbearable so she decided to end her life.
She narrated to THE PRESS RADIO that she started contemplating suicide and nearly initiated the action but it took the counsel of her church Pastors before she could rescind her decision.
Aside the 1.2 billion old Ghana Cedis her personal savings amounting GHs 50,000 is also locked at the savings and loans company.
She therefore appealed to government to consider her situation and assist her to get her deposits back.
