A woman had an odd interaction with her former neighbour, who allegedly got in touch with her after inadvertently depositing ₦800,000 into her bank account.

The woman claims that last week, she received a message from her former neighbour alerting her to the incorrect transaction.

She checked her account right away, verified that she had received the ₦800,000, and got ready to return it. But the man allegedly gave her another bank account and told her to move the funds there.

The woman transferred the full ₦800,000 back to the account from which she had got it, adding the transaction description “Money mistakenly received,” instead of transferring the funds to the newly supplied account.

After seeing what she had done, her former neighbour reportedly contacted right away.

According to her, he asked, “Why would you transfer the money back to my Opay? I gave you an account to send the money to. I can’t withdraw money from that Opay.”

The woman responded, “Bros, I didn’t receive the money from the account you sent me.”

Before she could forward the transfer receipt, she claimed the man got upset, stopped the call, and blocked her on WhatsApp.

When the woman revealed that her former neighbour had allegedly been taken into custody by the police, the narrative took a different turn.

She did not specify the reason for his arrest or whether it had anything to do with the ₦800,000 transaction.

The account has brought attention to how crucial it is to handle unforeseen transfers with prudence, especially when a sender asks for a return to a separate account.
