A woman has accused a man of defrauding her of ₦40 million, part of which she borrowed from a bank, by promising to provide her with goods. She claims that the EFCC is now pursuing her and that she has fled.
This was made public in a video that was shared on the well-known social media site X (formerly Twitter).
The woman described how she borrowed ₦34 million from a Warri bank and added her own ₦6 million to it in the video.
She claimed that after they came to an agreement, a man in Warri had promised to supply goods. Her first payment to him was ₦10 million.
The woman did, however, assert that after sending the money, the man kept sending others to her in order to get more money for other costs, like security and boats.
She claimed the man refused to deliver the goods and stopped being reachable even after she transferred all the money.
She added that the EFCC had started looking for her on the bank’s behalf, so she had to hide and run.
She urged people to assist her in her quest for justice.
Her statement included: “A man in Bayelsa duped me of ₦40 million. He told me he wanted to supply goods for me.”
“The bank lent me ₦34 million, and I added my own ₦6 million. He asked me to send him ₦10 million first, which I did. I have the papers we both signed in court.”
“After I sent the money, he sent people to me to collect even more, saying it was for the boat, security, and other things.”
“Once I gave him all the money, he refused to send the goods. Now, the EFCC is looking for me. They came to my house and ransacked it, and I’ve been running and hiding ever since.”
She also claimed that the man’s wife, who is a police officer, threatened to harm her and prevent her from speaking out.
As the post circulated online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section to share their thoughts.

@grind_charts: “Borrowing what you can’t afford to lose is already a trap. ₦40M lost means two things: greed or ignorance. In both cases, the banks don’t cry with you — they collect.”
@NigerianCos: “Contact VDM with your evidence. We’ll recover your money within a week.”
@Deepphlamez: “You go need evidence o… 40 million no be smallz.”
@Zicky001_: “Thank God very dark man is making the Nigeria judiciary, EFCC and police useless.”
