In a video posted on TikTok by @yomilistens, the man was making N30,000 every day when he was working.

According to the man who identified himself as Gbajobi Oluwaseyi, he was saving N20,000 out of his income

He said at some point, he raised N460,000, which he used to buy two cars for commercial business.

Gbajobi said he gave the cars to his friends to manage for him, but they misused them. He got angry and sold the two cars.

He said he got drunk while on duty and was later dismissed from his job.

His words:

“The biggest mistake I made in life is that when I was working with LASTMA, I made money, but I misused that opportunity. That is what brought me to this current stage I’m now. On a day, I make nothing less than N30,000. I saved N20,000 every day. That is N460,000 a month. I invested in transportation. I bought two buses and a car, Golf 3 then. So, I gave it to two of my friends to manage on my behalf. But they squandered that opportunity. So out of annoyance, I have to sell the two vehicles.”
