A Family Member Borrowed Money From Me And Ran Away. Is It A Criminal Offence? by Demaxl(op): 6:28pm On Jul 18, 2023
Make una come hear this gist.

So on Thursday my cousin came to beg me for 260k saying it was very urgent for the business she is running. She promised she would return it the next day. Of course I asked her questions about it because I cant just give that money to anybody but I decided to trust her because she was a family member.

A few days later I found out that she lied and deceived me. The money she collected from me that was supposed to be for the business she supposedly runs fell into the hands of a scammer. She lied and borrowed money from me and fell for a telegram crypto scam.

She even had the audacity to come to me to ask for another 560k saying if she pays that amount she will get the existing 260k, I told her that in the next 24 hours she must return my 260k. Only for her to disappear the next day, She ran away from the house leaving all her belongings, She blocked all the family members numbers and no one know her whereabouts.

What do you suggest I do this case because as of now I dont mind if she spends the rest of her life in prison. Should I go to file a police complaint?

With the level of hardship in Nigeria.... people should pray God to avert any form of emergency situation.

It turns out she lied about the business and she was never really doing it before
