Man Receives N100k from 'Bandits' on TikTok, Now Demanded N100m
Nigerian man Odumayo Olufemi has raised alarm after receiving N100,000 from individuals he identifies as bandits during a TikTok live session on June 6. According to Olufemi, the hosts promised money to anyone who followed their page during the live session. What initially seemed like a joke turned concerning when he received the money and was subsequently contacted with a demand for N100 million. The incident, which also reportedly affected other participants who received similar payments, was featured on Arise Television's "What's Trending" segment on Tuesday. Olufemi has appealed to Nigerians for help, stating that after receiving the N100,000 payment, he received an email demanding the much larger sum.
