A lady, Confidence Chujor, wants to retrieve the N3.6m she deposited into the bank account of a Canada-based Nigerian identified simply as Ajibola.
According to reports, Ajibola was said collected the money from Chujor on the pretence of helping her pay her tuition fees directly into a school in Canada.
Information also has it that Ajibola’s failure to pay Chujor’s school fees and refund her money has made her defer her admission and travel plans continuously.
Chujor, who gained admission into a Canadian university, revealed that she was introduced to Ajibola by a friend to help pay the fees directly after an earlier failed attempt.
Ajibola however assured Chujor that the money would be paid under five working days but five days became three months with no proof of payment
Chujor said when she suspected foul play, she made several attempts to get a refund without success.
She said: “I initiated Form A in February to enable me to pay my fees. When I saw that there was no headway with that, I decided to defer my admission. Then a friend of mine known as Victor advised that instead of sending the fee to a random person in Canada, I should send it to his close friend, who is almost like his brother in Canada.
“On July 6, 2023, I transferred N3.6m to Ajibola and he confirmed the payment the same day.
“When the transfer was done to him, the dollar rate was N552. He told us he would convert the money to dollars at the rate of N452, that his wife’s brother works in a Canadian bank, and that he would do it for him at the rate of N452.
“I became super excited. From that day till now, he has been turning me around despite my sending him all the necessary details to enable him to pay seamlessly. It got to a point where he said the fees had been paid. I was so excited. But then I requested a screenshot of the transaction. He kept saying he would send it. But he never did till date.”
She said all she needed was a refund, irrespective of whether the money was paid in dollars or naira and pleaded with those in authority, especially the Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission, to intervene.
