"He left my house early morning and went to my shop and transferred all the money I have in my 4 POS mechines to 4 different accounts and he collected some cash that was available.
"Because I put him in charge of my business including my POS and he knows all the POS pin code. Out of that 5.8 million that was stolen from me by my blood brother, N3.8 million is not my money.

Legit.ng contacted @Jcrock who shared the story on Twitter and he said he is not the victim, the same clarification he made in a follow-up tweet, stating that the incident happened to a friend of his.

He said:

"I'm not the victim. I'm surprised all these bloggers are using my picture. I accept I made a mistake I didn't state it clearly but they would have enquired."
