"You put me for prison because I cashout $20 and you dey use 5 million find me. Give my mama the money, I go turn myself in".

Lol

He said he cashed out $20 instead of saying "Because I STOLE $20".

Small twitter cruise wey boys just do for fun, una carry am for front page. A lot of people will now believe it's true.

You can see the prison picture was used as the twitter dp... Try to vet information before putting it on the front page.

Why is this on FP again

The person that sentence this guy won't die well

Cash out? What does that mean? You mean you scam someone 20 dollars? A thief trying to chase clout. Return to Ilesha to chop your beans.

What is the FG Waiting for ? They Should Make Available His Mother at the Court , Make Available the Money . The Mother should hire a Lawyer , The Statements and Evidence of the Pronouncement of the Promised 5 Million Bounty Should be Filed by the Lawyer . The FG Should Put it in Written Document Signed by the FG Lawyer of their Readiness to Make Available the Money , Transfer it into His Mother's Account .

Once the Boy Shows Up at the Court , They Transfer 5 M into his Mother's Account once mama receives Alert , They Return the Boy back to the Prison.. Shikena... The Penalty of Running Away , That I don't Know ooo

Sorry man

I cashed out $20 ❌❌
I stole $20 ✅✅

Such is an iron of life..... The law was made against the poor and vulnerable Nigerians.

Una de spread fake news.
For account wey person just change profile to catch cruise una don take am seriously

Very funny but not funny

Don't be slow ,it's X's cruise .

No excuse for Crime. Buzz off
Rot off.
Be held and do your crime

The same thing applies. Steal and settle! Nigeria courts have mechanisms for such settlements.
