“I ran down and after putting off the fire my saving box was burnt, after opening it I found the money inside like this. Inside this Covid 19 wahala.. am confused of what to do,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, a Nigerian lady has been left in great shock after she broke her wooden piggy bank, only to find an amount far lesser than what she believed she put in it.
