A Nigerian man has been caught using a fake bank alert to purchase clothing worth ₦5 million at a boutique in Benin, Edo State.
This was revealed in a post shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
In the video posted by @ChuksEricE, the suspect is seen being beaten and dragged on the floor by onlookers, with some slapping him.
A woman’s voice in the background narrates the incident, stating that the man used a fake alert to pay for the luxury clothing. She accused him of being a criminal and claimed he used juju (charm).
Her words: “The guy is a criminal. He’s using juju. He came to buy clothes of ₦5m and used a fake alert.”
As the video circulated online, concerned Nigerians took to the comment section to express their reactions.
