Man accuses vendor of withholding his money

However, due to an error, the customer mistakenly transferred N200,000 and realised this about three days later.

The customer, who shared the experience on X under the handle @Chrisllionaire, stated that the vendor had initially reached out to him, soliciting business due to a lack of sales.

After the mistaken transfer, the customer requested that the vendor return N150,000, but the vendor reportedly went offline and ceased communication.

The customer expressed disappointment and frustration with the vendor's alleged actions, feeling that he had been taken advantage of.

He warned the vendor that if the excess funds were not returned by a specified deadline, he would take further action.

In his words on X:

"You came to my DM begging me to patronize you because you hadn't made a single sale this year. I bought something for 10k, asked you to give it to someone around you, and wanted to send 20k but mistakenly transferred 200k. You locked up. When I realized the error on the third day, I asked you to send 150k and keep the rest, but you suddenly went offline. A fi ibi su ol'ore. I know you'll see this post. If I don't receive alert latest by 7 am tomorrow, what I'll do will be worse than what Burna Boy is currently doing to Speedy Darlington."
