In a story he narrated on X, Arojinle noted that the person who contacted him said someone gave his number to the loan shark.
Apparently, the person had borrowed money and failed to pay it back, and the loan shark was spitting fire.
Aronjile said:
“Why would these people message me about someone I don’t know. So, I wanted to find out. I replied, “Yes,” and they sent me a message that the person borrowed and used my number as a guarantor. You people did not tell me I can just borrow money with someone’s number.”
Aronjile said the loan shark replied and threatened to use his BVN and take the money from his account.
