That's how they collected one man's retirement gratitude in my area, if you see cry ehnnnnnn. After working for like 50 years, and we all know private institution don't give pension, only gratitudes sometimes.

It's more painful knowing they will spend all the money in club, on prostitutes, cigarettes,alcohol, and that over hyped iPhone 13. They will spend someone's 50 years of hard labour in less than a week

EFCC needs to step up. How can you be taking 6 months to investigate a case of fraud that has already been established? A petition was submitted with the name, address and phone number of a fraudster yet Una dey footdrag. But if it is yahoo boys, your balls will be hard

Honestly we need to change the orientation. It's not about these ones arrested. But about the average child in secondary school who thinks fraud is the only way to succeed
