A social media user, @8jagistplug tweeted: “I no understand weytin Opay Dey do this night make I just sleep wake up first. Abeg make nothing happen to my 1.5 Billion”
Another user, @iamvinicius_snr, said: “If opay crashes the amount of small businesses that would crash with it would be crazy.”
Also, @cajal_ebuara: “Please oh I made a transfer of 80k from my Opay and I haven’t gotten the money in my other account and the most scary thing is that it’s not showing in my transactions!”
Meanwhile, Opay, via its app had explained that it was undergoing maintenance, adding that all services will be restored soon.
The statement reads: “Dear user. The system is currently under maintenance and all services will be restored soon. Please bear with us.”
