How a Kidnap Ransom Scam Almost Trapped a Kogi Shoe Vendor
A Kogi imam shared a chilling warning after Asr prayers. An unsuspecting shoe vendor received millions of naira from a man claiming to buy shoes. The buyer asked for the money back hours later and tried to give a new account number for the refund. The vendor refused and returned the funds to the original account. He then reported the incident at the police station. A few days later, armed operatives stormed his shop and revealed that his account had been used by kidnappers to receive ransom. The imam urged everyone to double-check transactions and never transfer funds to unfamiliar accounts to avoid falling victim to such scams.
