Lady recounts ordeal before N690k refund

According to Fianna, she had a tough time trying to get back her money. She recalled reporting the incident to the police, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the court and the bank involved.

While noting that the refund left her teary, she admitted that she didn't believe the money would be returned to her account.

She urged people to join her in appreciating God for the refund, and thanked various agencies of the government, a church, and the Customary Court for helping out. Her Facebook post partly read:

"Who remembers that I kept complaining that I was scammed of 690,000 naira?
"Well, after all the stress of reporting to the police, the EFCC, the state CID, the bank, and the court, I’m happy to say that the entire sum of money that I was scammed has been refunded into my account.
"This testimony has left me teary. I don’t even know where to start.
"Y'all should join me to thank this God.😭😭😭😭
"If I believed I would have gotten it back, then I would have been lying.

"It can only be God.😭😭😭
"I say a very big thank you to God first for promising to be by my side through this trial and tribulation and sticking to it..."

When asked how much she spent while trying to get back her money, the lady said it cost her almost N150k.
