My NYSC Friend Disappeared With Our Savings

During NYSC, five of us agreed to contribute ₦50,000 every month. The plan was simple. After service, we'd use the money to start a small business together. One of us volunteered to keep the funds because he was the most responsible among us. By the end of the year, we had saved millions. The week we planned our first meeting, his phone became unreachable. He left his apartment overnight. Nobody knew where he had gone. Till today, three years later, we've never recovered a single naira. Whenever I hear people say, "Trust your friends," I just smile. Sometimes the deepest betrayal comes from the people you never suspected.
