When the time came for the debtor to repay it, he went back on his agreement and involved the police. Olakunle said he tried to get him and his boss who gave out the money arrested.

Long night with the police

What should have been a repaid favour turned out to be a long night for him and his boss at the police station.

He stated that if not that his boss trusted him well enough, he would have been in a big trouble for the money he never spent. Olakunle advised against standing in for people to secure a loan.

Nigerian man in American court

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian man who was charged to court for traffic disobedience appeared before an American judge, Frank Carpio.

In a video shared by @investingpath, the man fearfully asked the judge if he will be going home or taken to prison.

Judge Carpio said he will not be facing punishment as he is not in trouble. After getting that response, he heaved a sigh of relief.
