I am compelled to contribute my token because of the anguish I feel you are going through.

That said, you need to be specific as to what you want to achieve by involving law enforcement officers.

1. If you want to just punish the guy for his indiscretion then it is okay the rest of this post may not be necessary.

2. If your sole aim is to recover your money then you need to find out if this guy has assets that law enforcers can confiscate if need be; landed properties or other valuables. Additionally, can you help locate the guy whenever he is needed?

P.S
Are you guys from the same tribe? SFU can help you with this recovery but that demand is outrageous.

The value involved may not inspire the FCIID operatives as they usually go after the bigger stuffs.

Where are you located right now, Lagos or any other state? If you provide these details, you might get further assistance on this platform. Cheers.

Kindly, help a soul before late.

My Story:

I paid a guy 3.2million since 2017 to supply me Zinc Ore but he defaulted . I have since reported the matter to his father, village king, and town union president, yet no result. I visited his house sometime last year and after much noise, he signed an agreement before his lawyer and my own lawyer to pay effective April last year, but reneged again.

His village king as well as his lawyer have since lost interest in the matter. They advised that having exhausted all peaceful means of recovering the fund; I am at liberty to explore other options since the guy refused to oblige.

I don't want to arrest him with the police in his state of residence because I know he can easily riddle his way out. Considering our judicial system, I think going to court would prolong the case.

A friend suggested that since I live in Lagos and him at the East, the best option will be using EFCC, Special Fraud Unit or Force CID to arrest him (debtor) after obtaining approval from IG's office which seems to be expensive. I visited SFU Ikoyi and was told that the petition to IG will cost me 60,000 to 100,000 while mobilization for the officers that will go for his arrest amounts to 250,000.

The above fund put together is almost 400,000 naira or more, which I don't have at the moment. I have since put my car for sale to pursue this case.

I have lost a lot in the course of traveling for this debt. I lost my job last year because I couldn't continue servicing the loan I took from First Bank and my place of work as well.

My wife is now the pillar of the family. The situation around me is so pathetic.

Please I need suggestions and anyone that can assist me pursue this case. I have print out of all the payment made to him(debtor), signed agreement by him and other documents.

Please help a brother.

I will appreciate if the s can help me push this post to front page. I am totally devastated with no hope at sight.


Unfortunately your only route is going the EFCC route......

OP I'd suggest you shouldn't sell your car solely to pursue that case. Rather you may sell it and think of a business whether little to set up. People do fall and rise again.

I and my dad were once into solid mineral. My dad was hardcore while after so many challenges (loosing loads of millions of naira. Loosing 34 20ft cntr disguised to be lead and zinc ore which were later used in sand filling lily pond terminal in apapa)in the business, I suggested to him to quit. Thankfully, he heeded.

Take it easy. Think about it this way, you may also have lost the money if you had shipped it and those buyers lie to you about the final test analysis result.

I would suggest you calm down, you will bounce back but only when you focus. Irony of life is, the said guy may not still be more successful than you in life but these things makes your you need to be smarter, ask questions and become stronger. It's better it happened then than now.

Be strong.
I dont know your location but you may explore local production like what I do.

I produce ice blocks now and it's been a calm, challenging but ascending experience since for me.

Dont be too scared.

I have the impression that OP doesn't need the kinda help suggested to him. This is because every option suggested to him is rejected by him. I doubt if he would reject the option of fund raising for him. This should make one wary of him. Wat exactly is he asking? Just FP or something implied?

Take heart OP.

Try ing all these online influencers like Linda, SDK etc to hear your story.

Also use Twitter and Instagram.

I will also recommend Ordinary Ahmed of Brekete Family.

If the above no work, then your State's DSS command since the Police have proved useless.

Free EFCC, unless you are Naira Marley or oga olowo they will treat your case like police did.

When you say money must come out, please have it in mind that another person will not pay him the money, if the debtor is not capable of paying it, it will all be a wild goose chase, even if the guy is kept behind bars
Properties of the debtor can be confiscated, A car to start with.

Well in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking at this matter in a different way and without fighting and by trying to make it clear, and by considering each and every one's opinion, I think the best way to get your money back from that idiot is by taking his name to the shrine. Sue him to the shrine than wasting money to call EFCC and going to Court, that won't bring you your money... Sue him to the shrine, the chief priest and also give the shrine his number, the Chief priest will call him to come to the shrine by so so so date, the shrine would be the one to go for your money and not you again, the shrine will be going for the order of your money from the man., if the young man neglect the message from the shrine the shrine will kill him.... And torment his family. That's the way of the gods... My brother that's the only way you can get your money back. My candid advice....

The moral of the lesson I take from this thread is what I have always been harping about. No matter how good a business might sound,never invest all your saving in it. Start with 30% of your savings. I when I put in about 3.7 million in a failed venture, I felt like dying but the lesson I learnt from there made me 10 times richer than that amount within 4 years.

Too bad, but OP should come out of this much more financially sensible.

If the guy has valuables that can be confiscated, go to SIB unit, Zone 9, Umuahia and plead with police officers, just budget like 150K. Make sure they confiscate every valuable he has. If he has cars, they should tow the cars down to Umuahia, if he refuses to give up the keys. Let him also feel pains.

Does the man own a property, car or other valuable items that can be confiscated? If he does target those thing, involved EFCC, let them check his bank if he has some money, ensure they freezes his .

I do not think EFCC will charge you 250k for mobilisation nonsense. There is EFCC office in almost every state. It's not like they have to travel from Lagos to the East. That will be very fraudulent of them to say. We all know that the NPF can be extremely corrupt. Telling you to pay 60k to petition IG doesn't make sense.

I think you need to make this public and get a good lawyer. How can someone scam you and the people who are supposed to enforce the law are asking for money to do their job. 60k for petition? That is fraud on it's own.

Sir stop wasting your fund, those judiciary system and Authorities are scammers themselves.

just locate one baba and strike the with reviseable mute (dumb), and partial blindness... you'll get your money back in less than 2 weeks.

If the criminal has no valuable assets, get the police to arrest him. Few weeks behind bars, your money must come out, even if it means selling off his father's palace on Jumia.

We shouldn't give peace to the wicked. They deserve it not.

Good morning all, trust we're doing great in our area of endeavours.

I am here again not to bother us with my "issues" but rather to plead further for assistance.

Firstly, I want to appreciate all those who have sympathised with me and others for their advise. Special thanks to Zuluhead(moniker) for reaching out though the option he proffered had been applied last year with no result.

I appeal to the S to help move this thread to the front page so that more options can be explored, who knows maybe the assistance I need might come from there.

Please help a brother. I have never felt the way I feel right now in my entire life. It's so bad that I depend on my brother financially for certain family expenditures. He is getting agitated because he has his own family too and our elderly parents to carter for since I am not working anymore.

Please I am optimistic that there are still people here who can help with practical solution towards recovering my money. Anyone close to the the s should help me talk to them.

I cannot commit suicide but I now see reason people commits it. Depression is one of the worst sicknesses. Atimes I feel like the next day shouldn't come. Sleeping is now an uphill task. I rarely sleep because I am always obsessed.

Although I started learning a trade from my friend but it has not been easy since there is no income. I don't know what to do again.

Help is all I need. Not financial help but the best way to go about recovering my money from a fraudulent individual.

I am hopeful...

Have a lovely weekend.


If you inform him that you are taking the case to Oracle
He will respond fast.
If not just get a kola nut, and me
It's free but you have to be sure of your story, if not you are on your own oh.
