A man was reportedly caught yesterday in Abuja after allegedly attempting to make a fake bank transfer of over ₦2 million to a shop owner after purchasing several expensive items.
According to a video shared online by the shop owner, the suspect had confidently arrived at the store with a security guard, apparently to appear credible and trustworthy. His confident appearance initially made the shop attendants believe he was a legitimate customer.
However, after completing his purchase and claiming to have made a bank transfer, the transaction could not be verified. The shop owner quickly grew suspicious and decided to double-check the payment. Upon confirming that no money had entered the account, the suspect’s alleged deceit was exposed.
