Nicki Bigfish had initially reached out to the man, intending to extend his help even further. However, when the man refused to answer his calls, Bigfish grew suspicious and decided to investigate further.
To uncover the truth, Bigfish decided to use a different phone number and posed as a potential donor who had been deeply moved by the man's story and wanted to contribute food items.
"The guy doesn't have any wife or kids. He refused to answer my calls completely, so I had to use a different number and posed as a donor who's been touched by his story and would like to donate some foodstuff," Bigfish explained.

Adding to his woes, Chrispus had lost his national identity card, a crucial document needed for job applications.
