Nigerian lawyer laments bitterly after being scammed of N4.5 million

A Nigerian lady, Tolulope Ezekiel has taken to social media to raise an alarm after falling victim to advance fee fraud.

The lawyer who is furthering her studies abroad needed to get foreign exchange so that she could pay her school fees, so she paid N4,510,500 to a group of men who turned out to be scammers.

She only realised that it was a fraudulent after sending the money into one Innocent Ivienagbor’s account.

Tolulope, who said she feels hopeless, shared photos of the suspects and revealed that they are currently on the run.

She called on well-meaning people to help her in locating the alleged fraudsters.

She wrote; “I’ve been in shock and disbelief for the past one week. I fell victim to scammers while trying to get FX to make payment for my school fees.

I made payment of N4,510,500 to an Innocent Ivienagbor and later realized that he and his team of scammers had defrauded me.

They’re all on the run and I feel helpless/hopeless. My friends and I have put in a lot of work to get the pictures and details of two of them (pictures attached).

I need all the help I can get to see that they’re arrested and everyone involved is brought to book, more importantly, that I get my money back.”
