Veteran Nollywood actress, Eucharia Anunobi, has berated Nigerians who build magnificent houses in their villages where they rarely stay.

According to the EFCC, the young man identified as Haruna Samuel on December 3rd, 2020 received a credit alert of over twenty million Naira and knowing fully well he wasn’t expecting the money, rather than report the case to his bank, he chose to use the money for himself.

The defendant was alleged to have on December 3, 2020 received a credit alert of the sum of N 20, 014,300 (Twenty Million, Fourteen Thousand, Three Hundred Naira) into his bank account. The money was sent in error from the account of his employer.
