Rather than transferring the money which is equivalent to N15.3M to the Nigerian, he traced the account which initially sent the money to him.
The US-based Nigerian later detected the money was from an America Woman and must have been transferred by some alleged yahoo boys.
Nantomah alleged that the internet Fraudsters threatened his partner who lives in Nigeria to transfer the money to them.
He thereafter involved the police in America and Nigeria regarding the issue and drove hours to locate the rightful owner.
Reacting, the victim, who was utterly flabbergasted and still grasping for words, said she was not responsible for the transfer of the funds. She said that her fiancée, whom she has never seen before, had transferred the money under the pretext that he was conducting a business transaction with a Dubai based firm.
The Local Area Police Department, who had accompanied the Nigerian to Lynn’s residence told her to cut all communications with this faceless fiancée, describing her as a victim of an internet scam perpetrated by a significant fraction of Nigerian youths.
In the wake of this brazen exhibition of honesty, adulations and encomiums have continued saturate the Nigerian businessman who has proven that there are still many Nigerians with a very high degree of non-conformity to the popular narrative that all Nigerians are criminals.
