A shocking betrayal has come to light as a young woman accuses her own cousin of misusing ₦800,000 meant for a compassionate cause—the burial of a coursemate’s father.
According to her emotional account, the money was contributed by friends and well-wishers, all rallying together to support their grieving colleague. But instead of delivering the funds, her cousin allegedly spent the entire amount.
“When it was time to account for the money, he switched off his phone and disappeared,” she revealed, expressing disbelief over the incident.
The story has sparked outrage online, with many condemning the act as heartless and deeply unethical, especially given the sensitive nature of the funds. “How do you eat money meant for a burial?” one user fumed.
Observers say the incident highlights a troubling pattern of misplaced trust and lack of accountability in informal fundraising efforts. Without proper tracking or transparency, such contributions can easily become vulnerable to abuse.
As the story spreads, calls are growing louder for the accused to be held accountable and for stricter measures when handling community donations, especially those tied to emotional and urgent situations like funerals.
What was meant to be an act of kindness has now turned into a painful lesson in trust, betrayal, and responsibility.
