Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to
Make claims for this monies as his heir, because they
all died in the same accident himself and his wife
(May Their soul rest in peace). We could not release
thefunds from his account unless someone applied for
claim asThe next-of-kin to the deceased .At that
period he had$14,210,045m(fourteen million two hundred
and ten thousand dollars)in his account.After four to
five years the money wascalled back to the bank
treasury as unclaimed bills and the money
shared amongst the directors of the bank,which has
already beendone by the directors early this year.
