Netizens had thought she wanted to recharge for bus rides when the mistake happened but she has come out to explain more.
In a new video she posted on TikTok, Best Choice said the whole incident happened around 2am in the morning.
Best explained that she wanted to send the money to her Cowry wise savings app when she made the mistake.
She said she filed a complaint and the money was quickly returned to her after she proved that she actually sent the money.
However, she said it took 48 hours before she could get the money back and that she got N399k.
“This transfer thing happened around 12am to 2am. It was by 2am that I noticed that the money was not in my Cowery Wise, it was in BRT Cowry app. So I reached out to them on TikTok, Instagram and all their social media pages. I reached out to them everywhere but they are not on Twitter. First thing in the morning, around 6am I left home to their terminal.”
She said she was given a directive on what to do and she complied after which she was credited with N299,900.
