Useful information from CBN against Bank Account Hacker:
In case you find yourself in the hands of 419, yahoo boys,or phone snatchers, that you think,they may hack into your Account for Fund Withdrawals.There is now a way out to stop Debit Transactions on your Account by yourself.
Just be sure that you know your Account Number offhand or retrieve it where you might have written it (in case you don't know it offhand),
If it is your Phone that is stolen,just try and use any available cellphone from Anyone else.
*Dial *966*911#*
Once you dial the Code,it will prompt you with this Message: *eaZybanking - Stop Debit Transactions.
Enter Account Number,and press OK or Send.By doing this your account will be automatically frozen from any type of Debit Transactions immediately.
You can no longer withdraw Money until you go to the Bank yourself.
*Pls share this information with your loved ones*
Thank you.��

Thanks you all for help.
I was able to block my Mtn line by calling MTN customer care no (180).
For the bank accounts I had to use *737*51*10# for GTBANK as the other code didn’t work. Access code didn’t go through on a non linked line, fortunately I was able to sign to the app on another phone with a hardware token. And for Stanbic I called there customer care.
Only first bank code works using a different line than your linked phone no.
