An unnamed house agent who reportedly defrauded a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) of the sum of N700,000 has been jailed at the Nigerian Correctional Centre in Agodi, Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
According to a social media influencer, Honourable Jesugbemi, who narrated the development on X formerly (Twitter) said the corps member reportedly paid ₦700,000 to the house agent for the said apartment.
Jesugbemi wrote, “Omo!!!! This particular house agent collected ₦700,000 from a corper in Ibadan.”
However, trouble began when the corps member wanted to inspect the apartment and retrieve the keys, but the agent evaded him multiple times by giving excuses.
He later admitted that he used part of the money to cater for his personal debts and spent the rest on sports betting. When confronted, the agent told the corps member that he can’t do him anything.
