@ctvedmonton The guy must've email a thousand people asking for help transferring that money. Was even willing to pay. No one wanted to help. #Sad!

The news trended after social media users quickly picked up on the fact that the event occurred in Nigeria -- a reference to the many scam emails often sent from a "Nigerian royal figure" soliciting users to transfer thousands of dollars with the promise of a larger reward at the end.
Most of the emails start off with something like this:
I've gotten a lot of spam, but Ive never actually received an email claiming to be from a Nigerian prince, until now pic.twitter.com/7HmirOZdHG

According to the EFCC, in addition to the U.S. dollars, $75,000 worth of Nigerian currency and $35,000 in British pound sterling were also found "neatly arranged" inside fireproof cabinets hidden behind wooden panels.
Investigations are ongoing, said Nigerian officials.
Earlier last week, the EFCC uncovered some $817,000 in cash from a market in Lagos, and some $1.5 million at a shopping mall.
Nigeria is ranked 136 out of 176 countries on Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index in 2016.
