Victor thereafter placed a bag under the care of the agent, telling her that he will be back, without giving her his card for the money to be drawn.

The deposited bag contains sachets of water

It was after Victor had left that Joy checked the bag and discovered that it contained sachets of water. She was said to have cried out bitterly and all efforts to locate the young man failed.

Punch Newspaper quotes Elizabeth Adetula who narrated the story as saying:

“According to my receptionist, Victor told the operator to give him N75,000 cash and he’ll give her his ATM card for cash withdrawal and she could take N2,000 as service charge, and Joy agreed.
“After Joy handed the cash to Victor, he dropped a nylon bag with her under the pretext of coming back to pick it. He also asked her to give him N50 to quickly buy something from a store close by, but he never came back.
