The purpose of today’s announcement is to explain to you why 86fb cannot run normally. The reason is that we have been maliciously frozen by a payment company called Flutterwave.
“This payment company maliciously froze our funds and intends to take the funds as their own and extort us by cooperating with the local police. 86fb have never yielded as we have been trying our best to protect the rights and interests of every user, but the other party has a strong background in Nigeria, we cannot fight against it, so now 86fb cannot withdraw money normally”
