After he recovered his money, he mentioned that the man who had earlier refused to refund him later called to beg him to send the money back to his OPay account.
He continued:
"The werey still had the audacity to call me and beg that I send the money back to him. According to him, the money will help complete his house rent and his landlord will chase him out. I told him to go and call Shekau."
As the post made its way online, netizens shared their thoughts and reactions.
Reactions as man recovers money
@honeychukwu stressed:
"Lol but wait ooo, what if he had already withdrawn the money?"
@hernandson1 added:
"Make a call to Opay about the wrong transfer. They’d freeze his account too while you go and get court order and the likes. Court order isn’t cheap too."
@TheGuySamX stressed:
"People dey craze walahi Area 1 bridge get enough space."

"Mine is more than two months now, the criminal withdrew d 100k immediately, even after I begged him to take 20k and send me 80k... Did all that was required by my bank, yet no refund yet."
@chikosolu__A noted:
"Ahh, what bank.. something similar happened to me. Access Bank said the owner of the account has to give approval for them to remove the money from his account."
@Sylsweets123 shared:
"Can you just imagine. I’ve had a similar experience, my account was hacked and they took a loan on my account, about 90k. I reached out to the bank they transferred the money to and in like 2 weeks I was refunded."
@peterajakayes said:
"As much as Opay is the best bank right now, with fast delivery service and a great security system. Still use your normal local bank, here is why. When you want to travel out, you would need to tender a bank statement that shows cash flow in your account history."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng recently reported that a Nigerian man successfully recovered his transport fare after a lady blocked him immediately after receiving ₦10,000 from him. According to the report, the man had sent the money through OPay for her transport, but she disappeared after confirming payment.
Rather than letting the matter slide, he took a smart step by contacting OPay customer care and filing a complaint. He provided evidence of the transaction, including screenshots of his chats and payment receipt. After verifying the details, OPay refunded the full amount to his account.
