Man Dies While Waiting To Confirm Bank Cheque In PH
There was an uproar in front of abbank in Port Harcourt on Monday when an indisposed man waiting in a car to confirm a cheque he gave a relative to cash collapsed and died.
Eyewitness accounts said the man had issued a cheque to a relation of his to cash at the bank. But the bank wrote DAR on the cheque, meaning that they needed to see the issuer of the cheque before honouring it.
The relative then went home and brought him to the bank but left him in the car to invite the bank official to see him. Unfortunately, the bankers did not follow him. They rather asked him to take the man to swear to an affidavit that he was the owner of the cheque.
While the banking hall bantering was going on, the deceased showed signs of distress before he eventually collapsed and died before they could take him to the hospital.
