A man attempting to exploit the compassion of estate residents by faking a seizure faced severe consequences as he was beaten by the very people he tried to deceive. The incident was shared by a Twitter user, @TheNonye, who detailed the unfolding events.
According to @TheNonye, the man had visited the estate the previous day, feigning a seizure and even foaming at the mouth to make the act appear genuine. Concerned residents, including the Twitter user who reached out to her medical doctor brother for assistance, tried to help the man, believing he was an ulcer patient in need of medication.
The residents contributed money to assist the man in buying drugs and obtaining some food. However, the situation took a turn when someone in the estate discovered a link showing that the same man had been caught previously for faking a seizure.
Undeterred, the man returned to the estate the next day, hoping to collect the remaining money promised to him. Upon learning of his deceit, the residents, now informed of his scam, took matters into their own hands and reportedly beat the man severely.
The incident underscores the importance of community vigilance and the potential consequences for individuals attempting to exploit the goodwill of others. The video shared online has sparked discussions about the lengths some scammers go to in their attempts to deceive and the need for communities to remain vigilant against such fraudulent activities.
