The mother and the son after gambling away 5.6 million naira, that is about $8,000. When the reality dawned on them, they gave false information in petition, accusing someone of fraudulently transferring the fund from their Opay account to the sport betting account without their authorization.
so in essence they are suing the person for getting access to their opay account and transferring the money to their sports betting account? Wow! Isnt it funny.
I don't see a reason why they should be jailed since the money belongs to them. The only reason why they could possibly be sanctioned is because they had to drag someone to their mess. How on earth do you continue gambling snf you have Lost up to a million naira plus and you still continue gambling? This is why it is very necessary to set out an amount you wouldn't gamble above so you wouldn't end up losing all your wealth. I guess the reason why they continued playing until the lost such amount of money could possibly be that they were expecting to recover all their lost money and had to gamble until the unexpected happened.
Yeah, one of the reason is to try recovering the money that they already lost or they both addicted and just wanted to keep playing, and when they notice that there's nothing left they start to point finger to other people making it more look like someone access the account and move the money to a gambling site, which is not hard to prove nowadays as there's already security check that may allow the investigator to look on the devices and geophysical location where the last access has been done.
They can't just blame someone and let the investigator believe that they are not the one who are in-charge on those transactions.
