On May 3, the actress lamented that her “entire savings” totaling N3.6m were mysteriously transferred from her bank account by a suspected fraudster.

She also made a video urging the public, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and her bank, among others, to come to her aid.
George said the fraudster emptied her account in two transactions, and that all attempts to reverse the transactions have failed, prompting her to call on the bank to intervene.
The actress had said, “I need help because I’m dying. This person has just cleared my account. Please my people, everyone please help. Please Zenith Bank, Reverse it. I can’t access my app. I’m dead.
“Nigerians please help me. Someone called Cecilia just cleared all the N3.6m in my Zenith Bank account into her Opay. I’m now koboless. I have nothing to eat with my children.”

She further invited her followers to join her in a live session on Instagram later today as she would be sharing the full story of her ordeal and recovery.
