What will you do if someone mistakenly sent you N500,000 or N1 million? If you are the honest type you will inform your bank and find all means to return the money. But for some, that money is manner from heaven. They will foolishly withdraw the money and spend every kobo.
Few hours ago, a 45-year-old driver in Ilorin, Kwara State, Adetunji Tunde Oluwasegun was sentenced to two years imprisonment for spending 2 million mistakenly sent to his bank account.
Apart from Adetunji Tunde, below are other Nigerian who were sent money by mistake.
