Man loses money to visa agents

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian man paid N15 million for a Canadian visa, but the agent in charge disappeared with the money.

The man sold his two cars and a parcel of land he inherited from his father to raise the money to travel to Canada.

But it appears his dreams will not come true because the person doing the visa for him has disappeared without a trace.
