Lady laments after sending N55,200 to wrong account
The lady, identified by her X handle @motundeee, recounted her ordeal on the social media platform.
She explained that after realising her mistake, she contacted the recipient, a stranger, to rectify the situation.
However, she was taken aback by the response of the recipient who asked about how much she wanted to give her from the transferred amount.
In her words:
"I sent 55,200 to a wrong account ( OPay) I haven’t met her before. I called her line, she said how much do I want to give her from there. Nigerians! What she did was bad. It’s not a normal character. I sha gave her 5200. And the money has been with her since Saturday btw. I was able to collect it back on Tuesday I think."

"Nawawo people and entitlement, sometime last month around 11pm money dropped into my opay account from a name I didn’t know, so I just let it be by morning to see if anyone would indicate sending and no one did so I realised it’s definitely a mistake from the sender. I entered the opay app and on the credit alert details there was a place one could directly resend the money back to who sent it and I just sent it back. Ano fit chop money wey no be my own."
