A man has recounted the story of a Nigerian individual residing in Italy who was apprehended after acquiring a property valued at €400,000, despite lacking a stable employment history.

In a video posted on TikTok, the man elaborated on the details surrounding the arrest. He disclosed that the Nigerian had relocated to Italy in 2016 but had only been employed for a total of eight months since his arrival.
