In a shocking tale of betrayal and misuse of trust, a Nigerian man living in the United States has publicly voiced his anguish after discovering that the substantial funds he sent home for a construction project were misappropriated by his uncle.
PLATFORM TIMES reports that instead of overseeing the building of a house, the uncle allegedly squandered the money on a lavish lifestyle and married a second wife.
PLATFORM TIMES gathered that the US-based man had sent money to his uncle, believing that the funds were being used to construct a home in Nigeria.
It was gathered that the man received regular updates and photographs purportedly showing the progress of the building.
However, these updates turned out to be a facade.
The man’s discovery of the deceit came as a devastating blow. After months of trust and significant financial investment, he learned that no construction work had been done.
It was further gathered that his uncle had been living a life of luxury, using the money to enhance his personal lifestyle and eventually marry a second wife.
In a stunning justification, the uncle defended his actions by pointing out the financial disparity between him and his nephew.
He argued that since the man was living a more financially secure life in America, he should not complain about the funds being used in a manner that benefited the family in Nigeria, albeit in a way that the nephew had not intended.
