A Nigerian man named Kesari has been arrested after he allegedly used millions of naira mistakenly credited to his account to buy a new car.
The incident, which has since sparked online debates, began when Kesari flaunted his new purchase on social media, only for it to later be revealed that the funds for the car had come from an accidental bank transfer.
According to reports, the bank mistakenly credited a large sum of money to Kesari’s account.
Rather than alerting the bank or returning the funds, he chose to use the money to buy a car.
The rightful owner of the funds quickly noticed the mistake and reported it to the bank. As a result, the bank withdrew the funds from Kesari’s account, prompting him to visit the bank to inquire about the deduction.
However, upon his arrival, police arrested him.
This story quickly gained attention on social media, with many users expressing mixed reactions. Some found humor in Kesari’s impulsive decision, while others debated the legality of his actions.
A few social media users even shared their own experiences of accidental bank transfers, with some admitting to briefly considering keeping the money before returning it.
While many commented on the matter, some legal experts suggested that Kesari could potentially argue that the funds were legally his when in his account, depending on how his lawyer approaches the case.
Others speculated that the situation could be resolved by the bank retrieving the car and returning the funds to the rightful owner.
This incident has sparked further conversation on the ethics of dealing with accidental bank errors and what constitutes rightful ownership in such cases.
