“Wode Maya called me and said he had sent me a document through WhatsApp to take to the bank. I didn't even understand the document or what it was about. The moment I showed it to one of the staff at the bank, he asked me to sit down. Then I saw him counting out dollar notes for me. I wondered what I had done, after which he put the money in an envelope and gave it to me,” Dr Likee narrated.
