A Nigerian man, identified as Kesari, has reportedly been arrested after spending millions of naira mistakenly deposited into his bank account. He allegedly used the funds to buy a new car, which he proudly showcased online before the source of the money was uncovered.

The incident gained widespread attention after being shared by a social media user on X (formerly Twitter). Reports indicate that Kesari had recently purchased a vehicle and enthusiastically displayed it on his social media pages. However, his celebration was short-lived as details surfaced about the questionable origin of the funds.

It was later revealed that the money had been mistakenly transferred to Kesari’s account by another bank user. Instead of reporting the error or returning the funds, he allegedly went ahead and used the money to acquire a luxury car.

The rightful owner of the funds soon noticed the mistake and reported it to the bank, prompting a reversal of the transaction. When Kesari discovered the sudden deduction from his account, he went to the bank to file a complaint about the missing funds.

However, during his visit to the bank, law enforcement was notified, leading to his immediate arrest. The incident has since ignited widespread discussions on social media, with many debating the legal and ethical ramifications of Kesari’s actions.

While some condemned him for failing to return the money, others contended that since the funds were deposited into his account, he might have had the right to use them—unless a court ruled otherwise. The case has sparked conversations about financial accountability, banking errors, and the ethical duties of account holders who receive unexpected deposits.
