Then the man demanded for the 9,000 left, telling them that he will transfer the sum of 40,000. This agent alongside the manager of that filling station, gave the man, the 9,000 left, while insisting that, the man must transfer the 40,000 naira he wanted to send, direct to the manager’s account.
After some minutes this man who drove a car in, gave them (agent and the manager) his number so they can call him, if they did not see the 40,000 he promised to send.
