Celebrated singer and businesswoman Esther Akoth, popularly known as Akothee, has taken to social media to explain how she lost Sh500k after her bank account was compromised.
The multi-millionaire known for her extravagant lifestyle said she is currently tackling two cases with a reputable local bank over the loss of her money.
“Can banks be trusted anymore? Because I am handling two cases with a highly reputable bank that has been handling my money for years. I am one of those clients who don’t even read my bank statements, Stupidity made me think they are professionals until my account was compromised.” Akothee wrote.
According to her, one of the losses was realized in February 2022, and the bank in question has refused to compensate her.
“There is a case pending since February 2022 that they have not been able to sort and have refused to take responsibility; they keep managing me with long stories. They equally know I don’t have bank loans, I have Zero stress, and our relationship is banking and withdrawing.” She added.

In the second case, which allegedly occurred on September 12th, the businesswoman lost over 500k through an ATM withdrawal.
Akothee questioned how one could make such a huge transaction, yet her ATM withdrawal limit is Sh30,000.
“The second case just happened on September 12th; that huge amount of money left my account through an ATM while personally, I have never accessed more than 30k from an ATM.
“If I need more than 30k, I will have to call the bank to extend my limit 🤔. On which planet could someone access more than 500k in two days by ATM? In some places, I have never stepped my foot. They have been taking me rounds and managing me. “
Akothee vowed to storm the bank’s headquarters to collect the money should they fail to provide an explanation on how the money left her bank account.
