Last Friday, I ordered food from my food vendor, but a different guy delivered it. I asked what happened to the guy that usually serves me food,and was told that he was arrested by the police.

Yesterday, I ordered again, and the arrested guy brought the food. I asked him why he was arrested, and this is his story below.

I was at the ATM last weekend to withdraw some money. After withdrawing and about to leave, a man whom i met in the ATM stand that evening walked up to me and complained about how his bank was not available and he needed money urgently to settle bills.
In fact, he told me that his car knocked someone down and he needs money to pay the hospital bills.
He asked if he could transfer the some of N90 thousand Naira to his account, so I could help him withdraw with my debit card.

After considering what hospitals do to patients that don't have money to deposit before treatment, i had to give him my account number out of pity, and then he transfered the money and i withdrew it with my debit card. He thanked so much and left happily.

Few days later, I got a call from my bank to come and fill a form. When i got to the bank, i was asked to sit and a BVN Re-registration form was given to me. After some minutes, some policemen came and i was arrested for phone theft and fraudulent transfer and withdrawal of funds.

To cut a sad story short, the man I helped at the ATM stole someone's phone,hacked his account and transfered to nine unsuspecting persons at different ATM points.

We all helped him withdraw close to 1million that day!

I was made to pay for the 90 thousand naira he sent to my account , hence my release from police custody.

Please note: This is a true life story, and is only one of many of such stories...
This is Nigeria, don't dull yourself o...

Nevertheless...
Long live Nigeria 🇳🇬
