A Nigerian couple have reportedly moved to the United Kingdom with N20 million contributed by members of a thrift group.
It was gathered that they used the money to secure their travel arrangements and disappeared much to the shock of the thrift contributors.
Victims of the scam have declared the couple wanted, asking people in the UK, who may have information of their whereabouts to come forward.
A social media user shared their photo online and wrote;
”Abeg if you jam dem for UK. They are wanted for running away with Ajo thrift of 20million. No peace for the weekend. Peoples hard earned money.”
