5. Go to any branch of the scam artist's bank (the bank the scammer uses), ask to see the CUSTOMER SERVICE in charge of FRAUD.
Mail Central Bank
6. If you can, print out all those chats with the scammer, and submit it. While you are there, send an email to SCAMMER'S BANK and copy CBN FRAUD DESK (anticorruptionunit@cenbank.org) . this will ginger the bank to take it up fast

Something tangible at the end
What should you expect from this?
— JÒHÁNNÙ MÍM?? (@aboladejohn_) January 12, 2020
The culprit/suspects account will be PLACED ON HOLD. Meaning he/she cannot transfer or withdraw until they visit the bank, and when they do, the bank will contact the police
Who knows, you might just get your money back
and the suspect when proven guilty will sign a waiver allowing the bank to refund your money.
