Mr. Oladimeji Mujeeb involves in Controversial Currency Exchange Scam: A Blogger's Misfortune Unveiled

A literary blogger, Mr. Ridwan Adedeji fell victim to a scam on May 25th, 2023.

Mr. Ridwan Adedeji intended to convert the money he earned from his website, which came from Google Adsense, into Nigerian Naira by transferring it to a domiciliary account. However, driven by desperation and the need to settle some debts, he approached a secondary school mate, Oladimeji Mujeeb, who is involved in currency exchange and resides in Ilorin, Kwara State.

Initially, they agreed upon a black market exchange rate of approximately 700 Naira per dollar. However, when the money was withdrawn from Mr. Ridwan’s account, they decided to opt for the official exchange rate, which ranged between 400 and 500 Naira per dollar at 6 PM that evening.

Despite the difference and the resulting shortfall, Mr. Ridwan Adedeji proceeded with the transaction and accepted the official exchange rate. Subsequently, Mr. Oladimeji Mujeeb proposed a mysterious plan to divide the money into two portions without providing any reasonable explanation. This proposal was not agreed upon by Mr. Ridwan Adedeji.

In the end, Mr. Oladimeji Mujeeb sent twenty-four thousand Naira to Mr. Ridwan, indicating that he converted one hundred and seven dollars into twenty-four thousand Naira.

However, as of the time of reporting this news, Mr. Oladimeji Mujeeb continues to deny any responsibility, insisting that it is not his fault.
