confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where the huge deposits
were lodged. Particularly, the Equity Development Bank where the deceased

notice to provide the Next of kin, or have the account confiscated.
Valuable efforts has being made by me to get in touch with any of my late
client's family or relatives but there has been no success. It is because of

the funds to be declared UNCLAIMABLE in another 6 months from now,if nobody
stands as the next of kin before then, and subsequently donated to the Red
