A video of a Nigerian lady setting wads of counterfeit N1k notes on fire has elicited reactions on social media.

The neighbour enquired from her how she came about the notes and she opened that it was a customer.
The lady said a man in a car had bought food items like bags of rice and litres of oil and handed her the notes.
It was later on that she realised that they were all fake. As punishment, the lady said her madam made her pay for it.
The money is being deducted from her salary. When asked why she was burning them, the lady said she didn’t want them to be circulated by unsuspecting folks. According to the lady, it is remaining N70k for her to balance up her madam. A caption of the TikTok clip reads:
“A young man walked into my shop and bought 2 bags of rice, 2litre oil worth 110k and gave me this… I had zero idea that it was fake money, this man came with a fine car o, looking all good… God will Judge you sir wherever you are…”
Two men who saw her burning the notes were also concerned and were shocked they are fake.
