How I Was Defrauded Of N3.2 Million And Almost Depressed by obc: 7:05am On May 22, 2019
Kindly, help a soul before late.

My Story:

I paid a guy 3.2million since 2017 to supply me Zinc Ore but he defaulted . I have since reported the matter to his father, village king, and town union president, yet no result. I visited his house sometime last year and after much noise, he signed an agreement before his lawyer and my own lawyer to pay effective April last year, but reneged again.

His village king as well as his lawyer have since lost interest in the matter. They advised that having exhausted all peaceful means of recovering the fund; I am at liberty to explore other options since the guy refused to oblige.

I don't want to arrest him with the police in his state of residence because I know he can easily riddle his way out. Considering our judicial system, I think going to court would prolong the case.

A friend suggested that since I live in Lagos and him at the East, the best option will be using EFCC, Special Fraud Unit or Force CID to arrest him (debtor) after obtaining approval from IG's office which seems to be expensive. I visited SFU Ikoyi and was told that the petition to IG will cost me 60,000 to 100,000 while mobilization for the officers that will go for his arrest amounts to 250,000.

The above fund put together is almost 400,000 naira or more, which I don't have at the moment. I have since put my car for sale to pursue this case.

I have lost a lot in the course of traveling for this debt. I lost my job last year because I couldn't continue servicing the loan I took from First Bank and my place of work as well.

My wife is now the pillar of the family. The situation around me is so pathetic.

Please I need suggestions and anyone that can assist me pursue this case. I have print out of all the payment made to him(debtor), signed agreement by him and other documents.

Please help a brother.

I will appreciate if the moderators can help me push this post to front page. I am totally devastated with no hope at sight.

this ain't an issue of scamming, it's just a transaction gone bad, I'm sure they must already have told him that and that's why the officers even want to milk more money from him. Know who u are dealing with, I always get anoyed when even my blood brothers mention "trust" or words like " don't but trust me" ... Trust has nothing to do with my friendship or business dealings with anyone, never let anyone fool u into dealing with someone fraudulent.

Even I now paid an AC service man to come and work for me and it's 3days now without coming to do what he was paid for. Well I was wise enough to pay him only 2k out of the amount upon all I still feel bad. Humans are seldom what the appear to be.

OP I WILL BE HONEST WITH YOU THAT MONEY MIGHT JUST BE WATER OVER THE DAM!!

Nigeria police go fustrate you, even Efcc is the worse, don't be fooled by those media stunt, they will do nothing but milk u of your remaining car.

Take to Twitter and Instagram. Lay out all the data you have on the transaction and how the fraudster failed to deliver. Include how the police charged you to discharge their duties. Tag policeng, officialefcc, Dolapo Badmus, Instablog and as many authorities and influencers as possible. It's only if the village king dad and his charge and bail lawyer don't care about the embarrassment that will come from such an open accusation that they won't contact you for some kind of resolution.

Good suggestions but doubt my ability to put things together at the moment. Plenty issues to handle.
I have been involved in an accident twice on my way to the debtor's residence but God prevailed.

I can relate. You are right but this guy packaged the lies nicely. Note, I sent someone to visit his house and stay put before I made the transfer. He was able to manipulate things. The Dad said he gave the guy 5,000,000 naira sometime ago but he mismanaged it.
Also that he married first wife, sacked her, marry second one, sacked and when he wanted to marry the third wife, the dad refused but he went on with the marriage. So from findings, he is not in terms with the dad. Bro, a lot of stories. I am dieying silently. Some times I begin to ask the essence of living.

I really appreciate the suggestions made so far by concerned persons. However, I am open to further opinion and ideas on how best to approach this matter without incurring much cost.

It's a lengthy story but I choose to summarise in order not to bore concerned readers.

I will narrate the whole incident to anyone willing to assist.

Please help.

Good morning all, trust we're doing great in our area of endeavours.

I am here again not to bother us with my "issues" but rather to plead further for assistance.

Firstly, I want to appreciate all those who have sympathised with me and others for their advise. Special thanks to Zuluhead(moniker) for reaching out though the option he proffered had been applied last year with no result.

I appeal to the MODERATORS to help move this thread to the front page so that more options can be explored, who knows maybe the assistance I need might come from there.

Please help a brother. I have never felt the way I feel right now in my entire life. It's so bad that I depend on my brother financially for certain family expenditures. He is getting agitated because he has his own family too and our elderly parents to carter for since I am not working anymore.

Please I am optimistic that there are still people here who can help with practical solution towards recovering my money. Anyone close to the the moderators should help me talk to them.

I cannot commit suicide but I now see reason people commits it. Depression is one of the worst sicknesses. Atimes I feel like the next day shouldn't come. Sleeping is now an uphill task. I rarely sleep because I am always obsessed.

Although I started learning a trade from my friend but it has not been easy since there is no income. I don't know what to do again.

Help is all I need. Not financial help but the best way to go about recovering my money from a fraudulent individual.

I am hopeful...

Have a lovely weekend.

This life is somehow. So this thread (https://www.nairaland.com/5214095/wife-keeping-malice#78821245) made front page even when the OP said he never wanted it on the front page? Whereas, I have sent retinue of posts begging for my issues be taken to the front page for more suggestions and possible solutions.

Anyway such is life. Help locates people differently. I have accepted my situation.

Peace!

If you really need justice, do as he said and unfailing your money will be restored without stress. I stay in Abuja and human right radio has solved cases which are far more worster than yours. Think twice!
