“I mistakenly took ₦2m loan from OPay instead of ₦300k” – Young man cries out

A Nigerian man has sparked reactions online after sharing how he mistakenly received a ₦2 million loan from OPay instead of ₦300,000.

The incident, which was shared by @toshine4u on the microblogging platform, has drawn widespread attention online.

How the Incident Happened

According to the man, he had received a notification on his OPay app indicating that he was eligible for a loan of up to ₦2 million.

He explained that he needed about ₦250,000 for urgent use, so he decided to apply for ₦300,000.

However, while selecting the amount, he unknowingly made a mistake during the process and was shocked to see ₦2 million credited into his account.

In his words:

“I got notification on my Opay app that I can get ₦2 million loan. So yesterday I needed just ₦250k, so I decided to apply so I can take only ₦300k.

Where I was pressing the amount, I never knew that I made mistake and before I know, I saw ₦2m in my account.

Since I need just ₦300k, I quickly send it out from the ₦2m to my other account and I called the customer care to withdraw the balance cos I can’t pay the interest added to that ₦2m.

The customer care representative is telling me there is nothing they can do. Please what can I do to avoid paying the huge interest?”
