Veteran comedian Blessed Njugush has been forced to pull down a video he did marketing Equity bank due to backlash from netizens.
This happens to be the first time Njugush has been attacked by netizens, particularly KOT.
In the deleted video, the father of two was marketing Equity bank imploring Kenyans to use the bank to pay for school fees.
The video
Recently, Equity bank has been a topic of discussion with several claims of theft and poor services.
So in an attempt to clean up their mess, Equity got Njugush to advertise their services.
In the video, Njugush dressed in a school uniform and filmed from Meru County, highlighted the convenience of paying fees through Equity Bank.
He praised the bank for providing a stress-free experience for parents, saying “Wazazi, I experienced the convenience first hand at Meru School.”
So netizens took to Twitter to call out Njugush for trying to sanitize the bank.

Equity fraud claims
While the bank’s customers keep complaining of being defrauded by agents who claim to be working for the bank, last week, Equity advised its users against using public Wi-Fi when transacting on their app.
In a letter addressed to its customers, the bank stipulated some don’ts that their clients need to take heed of in a bid to wade off fraudsters.
The bank said, “Do not share personal data such as your account number, card/CW, ID number, date of birth, etc with anyone. Do not share your pin, password, or OTP with anyone including your family, relatives, or friends. Do not engage fraudsters on call or sms. Equity will only call you through 0763 000 000.”
