A Nigerian man going by the name of Tobechukwu took to social media to ask for help as his brother was apprehended by Nigerian police in Oyo state today, June 7.
According to Tobechukwu, on June 6, his brother unexpectedly received an N400,000 deposit into his account. He called his bank to find out what had happened because he hadn’t anticipated receiving that much money.
He asserted that despite his brother asking the bank to refund the money, they refused giving him access to the account.
Later, his brother received a letter from the FCID Alagbon of the Force requesting that he appear for questioning.

“THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!
My brother just got picked up by a team of @PoliceNG from his office some minutes ago.
Apparently, he received a strange alert on his phone of N400,000 two days ago. He reported to his bank to know what happened & it should be returned, but no reasonable response was given.
The following day he got a letter to be at FCID Alagbon, which he went with his lawyer this morning.
They were told it is an ongoing investigation of a 10million naira stolen from the account of a kidnapped man by kidnappers.
The 10m was distributed to several other accounts; & unfortunately he is one of those picked up this afternoon by men of the @PoliceNG from Ibadan, Oyo state.
Another person is being picked from Agege too before heading to Ibadan.
I have got so many questions…
Where did the kidnappers get the account?
Aslo this is an account this is dormant. He doesn’t use the account.”
