Look at how some people here are busy accusing the Bank. The Abokki man should be held responsible and not FCMB. Where did the bank go wrong? The victim was told by the Bank that there was no money, and the man sheepishly followed abokki man to his office to transact the business which was done outside the bank.
Now the bubble has bursted and Abokki is now accusing the bank of being responsible for the fake dollar. How come he collected money from the bank and even went home without confirming the money? Also, how did the victim in turn, exchanged the dollar with the abokki without confirming the authenticity of the money before leaving?
Both the victim and the abokki should go and sort themselves out jare!

And why did the bank allow the Hausa man escape.
And the police arrested the victim.
The bank should have detained both parties .

This is injustice by FCMB

Hw can such bank direct in the middle of big market like trade fair claim they don't have 30$k,then a road side Hausa man has it even more. Make una no dey tell the Man sorry abeg,no be sorry him go take send his Children for School or feed them. The bank should be held responsible for this.

My opinion : I think d bank had large amount of fake notes but couldn't risk using it for small exchange cos d customer would notice,so they waited for a big exchange to chip in d the fake notes... I strongly believe d bank and d mallam know about dis mess..

This is absolutely injustice. The said branch of FCMB should be thoroughly investigated. If FCMB is finally caught in this dubious act , i wonder how many Nigerians would have fallen victim of this kind of dubious act from them. It's just so painful that Nigerians will only know of the beginning of the news/story but the end of the news/story will be hidden from them. I still have confidence in the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari though.

Kai see reasoning, smh for Nigeria educational sector

Na the question is why did the bank secretly let the hausa escaped....there is more to the story. The bank hands are not clean. The man should sue their bottom for being accomplish and accessory...... They must provide Hausa man.

bushdoc9919:
He was the cause of his own misfortune.



Dude....the minute the bank said no money.....you should have gone to another bank.....AT ONCE.!



Of course....they would deny it.....NO DOCUMENTATION FROM THE BANK OR FROM THE HAUSA MAN....NOT EVEN A CAMERA PHOTO....since you went to do business outside the bank with another man.

Sorry my man.....but you were the one who caused your problem. You should have gone to another bank....and you should have not done forex business without DOCUMENTARY PROOF!...AND WITH SOME GUY WHO IS NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED TO DO BUSINESS IN FOREX.

Nigerians!

Nigerians!

ayokunlei:
If this story is true, then its injustice ... Enough investigation must be done to know the truth of the matter!

Seun, lalasticlala, ishilove, obinoscopy, what do you think?

does it mean dat banks also sell fake dollars if it is so nobody is secured in this country and to me the bank is in alliance with dis hausa man pls let dia b an enough investigation to confirm d truth

The person you quoted point is actually valid. You are the one that fail to reason am well. You believe that banks are incapable of such crime abi, ok! On the day you fall victim to one of their schemes your eyes will clear!

Bro, go back and read the story once again. It says, the bank locked the victim out and the mallam was kept inside the bank. Creating scene in a banking hall, thereby bringing distraction and establishing chaos amongst other customers is a no no, as far as banking policy is concern. Hence, the expulsion of the victim outside the banking hall.

why the fuss with the bank? did he transact the exchange in d bank? since its d mallam that did d biz with him, he should arrest him simple. the bank has got nothing to do with this.

just one question . Where do banks get their foreign currencies?if you can answer that question correctly then you will know better

I wonder ooo. The bank didn't sell the currency,the transaction wasn't done inside the bank,the Hausa man is not even a staff of the bank and yet some ppl are shouting bank bank bank

WHO EVER USES DOLLAR/.POUNDS, SHOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW FAKE OR ORIGINAL ONES. SO THIS MAN IS AT FAULT. I DEAL IN DOLLARS OCCATIONALY AND I PAID PEOPLE TO SHOW ME FAKE AND REAL DOLLARS AND TODAY THIS CANNOT HAPPEN TO ME.

You are quite right. But the problem is that not many folk know how to spot fake currencies. Even bank tellers sometime got fake from clients...

eluquenson:
He's silly cos he bought $30k and fake was given which his duty as a customer is to check for genuity of the fx, then why is he buying the fx when he doesnt know how to identify if it's fake or not & the US has really done a good job on this green $ cos it will be very obvious if it's fake. Am sure you can do the same and fall prey to those mallams.
The choice is yours

This is as interesting as it is intriguing. The basic elements of the story are clear and to me we have 3 key players each with a motive and opportunity to have perpetrated this act

The Bank
The Bank is my number one suspect only because banks are known not only for round tripping Forex but for arranging insider Forex sales between customers with inflow(that is customers who get direct deposits of USD to their accounts) and other customer who wanted to buy. If the USD was sourced officially from the bank some record will be available to trace the money. If it was a private arrangement brokered by a bank official then the plot immediately assumes a new dimension

The Hausa Man
The Hausa man is most likely everyone's first suspect. After all he supplied the USD. What baffles me is he didnt run and even agreed take the Victim back to the bank to resolve the issue.
His actions do not suggest culpability but again we have really sharp guys who can play mind games

The Purported Victim
Never rule out the most unlikely suspect. I will guess that the victim has a boss who truly owns the money. I have seen many cases where the purported victim turns out to be the perpetrator

Stay tuned as this interesting case unfolds

Let me rephrase your question "Where does fake currencies come from?" You still living the 19 century if you think Nigeria banks are above committing financial crimes.

no one is talking about financial crimes or not. How do banks get the foreign currencies is the question. My question is based on banks and nothing outside that. If you know the answer say it ,if not admit it

if this is true please send it to channelstv online I don't know how to go abt it but am sure if it get to them they will act on it.

thats how this bank people steal people's money...

And why didn't the bank lock both the victim and mallam out, since they came to the bank together for the complaint.
Only to allow the mallam escape.

I hope that bank won't frame that man.

You see why the Bank is actinging suspicious here.

This is financial crime. Federal govt needs to get involved and probe the Bank and the middle man. This is pure fraud.

Also, the guy himself needs to be probed of his source of income.

This is the way to do it if you need serious change in the country.

The bank needs to be seriously investigated and during the cause of investigation, its business activities should be hindered.

the hausa man needs to be investigated. If truely the hausa man withdraw the cash from the bank as claimed, i believe banks do take photocopy of it before giving out the dollars. So they should investigate the hausa man

Don't need to answer any quiz! But suffice is say they source for foreign currencies through many channels, such as deposite from oil coy, central bank, govt. agencies, investment in multi-national deals etc. Hope you are satisfy now..... Can you now please answer my own quiz?

Yes you are right, but someone needs to exercise due diligence while dealing with fx, the exchange rate alone will make you to shine your eyes well, but if otherwise you pay to be a mugu, i pity the victim, when next he comes to this world he should be smart.

Since the mallam was bold enough to go with the guy to the bank, i suspect the bank knows about the deal.
