AAX Users in Nigeria Storm Company Office Over WIthdrawal Halt
- The irate crowd, allegedly, asked that a ban on withdrawals since November 12 be lifted.
- SIBAN pleaded with customers to cease harassing the crypto exchange’s employees.
A group of Nigerians who are unhappy with Atom Asset Exchange (AAX) allegedly attacked the company’s Lagos headquarters and beat up personnel, as reported by the local press. The irate crowd, allegedly, asked that a ban on withdrawals that had been in place since November 12 be lifted.
Legit’s article from December 2 does not specify when the event took place, but it does confirm a call for action by the Stakeholders in Blockchain Technology Association of Nigeria (SiBAN). In a warning sent on November 28th, SiBAN pleaded with AAX customers to cease harassing the cryptocurrency exchange’s employees.
SiBAN stated:
“We appeal to and discourage any dissatisfied or angry user or investor from harassing or victimizing the AAX Country Manager (Nigeria), other local staff members, and AAX ambassadors nationwide. These persons are also facing the same situation as disgruntled users and investors are.”
No Proper Update
The lobbying organization also disclosed that the crypto exchange’s top executives in Hong Kong had severed all ties with its employees in Nigeria.
In the meanwhile, the lobbying organization sent a statement to AAX and its founders, bringing to light the crypto exchange’s responsibilities to its customers. The warning also included recommendations for actions that AAX and its Nigerian employees may do to win back the confidence of its customers.
Recently (on November 18), AAX informed its customers that it needed additional time to reply to the large volume of queries in the community because of “many new developments.” AAX promised additional announcements and updates via the official channel at the time. The users complain of no proper communication or update despite waiting.
