I was embarrassed when people laughed that I cashed N3,000 from teller – Mr. Latin

Mr. Latin had only N5,000 in his account.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with PREMIUM TIMES at his Elega Housing Estate residence in Abeokuta, the Ogun State Capital, Mr. Latin said he only had  N5, 000 in his account then.

He said at that time, he was broke and needed money to attend to an important issue, which made him resolve to withdraw the N3,000 from the balance of N5,000.

The comedian said he approached his Zenith Bank in Abeokuta and issued a cheque of N3,000 which he handed over to the cashier for withdrawal.

He recalled that at that stage, the cashier look at him again in a baffled manner, and curiously asked if he was not the famous Mr. Latin, to which he responded in the affirmative.
