Popular Police Officer, Dolapo Badmus has cautioned Nigerians to stop giving anyone their account number to receive money.

The Police PRO revealed that some persons might use it for fraudulent activity and in the case of such event happening, the actual owner of the account would take the fall for it.

Her words:

"Don’t ever “borrow” anyone your account number to receive money, your account should be for your own usage..someone is in custody for borrowing a “friend” his account, he never knew the money they are transferring through him is fraudulent.Ignorance isn’t an excuse before the law.
