Rose Ahebwa, having connections in MTN, she just called her brother to block her line and replace her simcard. She did not report to police. Kampala has baferes who call peoples phone for details, we all know that but Rose did not even report to Equity Bank that she had lost her phone. She only went to Equity after realizing her money had been withdrawn using her PIN which relatives say she had actually saved on her stolen phone.

The close relative said Rose Ahebwa lost mobile phone was Samsung flip.

“She loves food, we all know it at home. She left her phone on the table , as she went to serve food. She only called her brother who works with MTN to block her mobile line.” Said her relative who asked we don’t name them for family peace but wants the truth to come out, Equity being unfairly accused.

She only went to police to get a letter to MTN while replacing her line but even claims she has no memory of the reference number of police case when the bank asked her for the letter to help investigate the case.

‘So, when Rose went to the bank, she demanded a refund from the Bank, did not even allow for time for investigations.”

While Equity issued a statement saying they are investigating the matter, the declined to give interviews saying the bank does not discuss customer matter with media.

Sources said the bank invited Ahebwa on Tuesday for a meeting with it’s managers but she did not go for the meeting and only to meet Aldrine Nsubuga, who has put up a one sided story.

Documents obtained by this newspaper shows that Ahebwa opened her account number in 2022 and she registered on Eazzy Mobile Banking although she is lying to the public that she never registered for mobile banking.

She has even been buying airtime and food using the app.

Equity Bank Risk and Customer Experience team have met Ahebwa and shared progress of the investigations but she keeps lying they did not.

We would like to assure our customers and the public that the Bank’s platform security and safety of customer funds remain our top priority.

We once again advise all our customers and the public to NEVER share their card details, PINs, ID and passwords of their bank and mobile phones with anyone.
