“There is nothing I can do now. I cannot go there and remove money, as you see me now, am a mother, I have a kid. The bank is not supposed to be closed in any place,” Vanesa said.

Lamunu Achiro, a mother of three said lives will be very hard for her since her husband remit the money through the bank from Uganda.

“Now, I cannot remit back because there is no bank now. The money I withdrew is over now, with the economic situation right now, I can’t get anything now. I am urging the government to find an alternative way, open a new bank to help the citizens in the state,” Achiro said.
