I think he can as well check but bear in mind "the fraudulent"

@op the format in question is a very common and old technique scammers use on unsuspecting or ignorant victims. it's a nice thing you played along with the dude. what I suggest you do is to make a report to EFCC along with details of the email exchanges as well as the account details he provided. a report at the police station should be good too. these scammers need to be taught that life serves to people what they serve to others.
