“Mr Gbenga Adejuwon upon receiving the sum of N50M into his Nigerian business account, quickly moved the 50million the same day into his personal account and then transferred N20million through GTB Bank to a supposedly person, one Mr Samuel Adesanyi and sent another N30million to GTB account of one Nigeria based shipping company in Lagos state.
“While waiting for him to send me the $30,000, I called him, that was on December 12th and he claimed to have sent the $30,000 to my account that, the client he worked for has transferred the money to my account and he has the transfer slip already, his driving now he will forward it to me which i didn’t receive, to my shocking surprise the bank did not authorized the transfer because it is a fraudulent transaction. That would put me in jail. Up till today, no dollars received and he refused to return the N50M back.
“The name on the transfer slip is the woman’s name, Mrs Otsabomhe. Gbenga Adejuwon didn’t refund any money to me, nor to Mrs Otsabomhe up till now. The sum of $30,000 has not been paid neither ready to refund the N50M back he kept giving us excuses.
“I’ve ended up losing the house that I wanted to buy for Mrs Otsabomhe family and they’ve been on my neck saying I’m the one that introduced Mr Gbenga to them. I didn’t know that Mr Gbenga staged all these to defraud and rob us. It’s very clear to us now that he doesn’t have any dollars in any bank account, he refused to return the N50M.
“To my surprise, while we keep digging into the matter, we kept calling his phone, but he doesn’t answer his calls and kept making excuses.
“He kept saying he’s expecting some money from cryptocurrency so he can refund the N50 million. I’ve lost sleep because the family who owns the money has been on my neck, and my family has been put in jeopardy.
“I didn’t realized that he was a fraudster., Now I confirmed that he do make use of his account he has with Providus Bank in Nigeria to defraud people and then quickly move the money out from his business account.
“I’m calling on Nigerians to advise me on how to go about this, I want Mr Gbenga Adejuwon to refund the N50M sent into his account. His wife’s name is Remmy Adejuwon.
“And he’s using the fact that he resides in the UK and that nobody can harass him to his advantage over this issue,he has destroyed the relationship, business, and trust that I had with Otsabomhe’s family.
Mrs Tinuola Agbabiaka of RCCG Christ Church Gbagada Lagos state married to one pastor Agbabiaka is Mr Gbenga Adejuwon’s sister, she has also pleaded to his brother to refund the money, but he’s been blocking and dropping everyone’s call. I’m begging Nigerians both home and abroad to please come to my rescue as Mr Gbenga Adejuwon is leveraging on the fact that he’s in the UK and nothing can be done to him.
“I’m also using this medium to appeal to the member of the parliament of the United Kingdom to help me on this matter as Mr Gbenga Adejuwon is a UK resident and he’s not ready to refund the N50million sent to his account since last year.”
