Please I need advice.
I got a call from one of my customers who came to my place in Kano to buy grains three or four years ago. He called me on Monday, and he explained how he came to Kano at my place for grains because I didn't remember again until when he explained. He said he has relocated to Lagos and is working with a telecommunications company as an engineer

He told me that he has a brother who wants to buy land for building of a hotel in Kano state and that he will give his brother my number so that he will call me, I said no problem.

Later in the day, his brother called me, and he explained what he was selling and who he was working with, that his boss was in abroad and sending electronics to Nigeria, and he was in charge of his brother's business.

To short the story, he said he needed land in Kano for a hotel and that I should help him to get the land. I told him that I don't deal with land, my business is a grains business, and that I would help him inform those estate agents in Kano. So that they would help him. He told me that if I got it, his brother, who knows me, would come to Kano for inspection, and he would make payment; I said ok. He said his budget for the land is 100m.

Today now, he called me that he heard that his brother is coming to Nigeria this week and he wants to remove the money from his account to someone account I should help him get the bank account that can contains 170m today and I told him to let me talk to those people that wants to sell the land maybe they can send their account.

Since this morning, I have been thinking about how someone who wants to buy land without inspection will send that huge of money, so I sense a red flag.
My question is, if he eventually sends his brother to inspect the land and make payment from another account that is not from his account, am I in trouble for helping them to connect them to the estate agents in Kano if anything happens in the future.?

This na old format for scammer na

Imagine I kidnap someone and need the family to pay me 170m before I release the kidnapped. So, I contact you, my old ungreedy trustworthy customer that I've done business with in the past to receive the money on my behalf.

Do you get the picture?

It's a scam. Don't get yourself into trouble.

First is to raise your interest in the deal, thereafter monetary demands begin to come in. They may start with little amount, if you give to them they will increase their demand before you know they will tell you to take a fake oath of secracy that once anyone disclose the secret the person will run mad. It matters of time before monetary demands comes in.
