Hi guys, please I need your guidance on this issue. I wanted to set up a gas shop for my brother so I approached a man selling gas cylinder in large scale, I asked him how much it will cost me to set it up and he quantified everything necessary to 90K. Unfortunately, I'm having 70K with me, I deposited the 70K on Sept 1st, 2020 and promised to balance it up next month and pack my goods. Before the month end I misplaced the invoice he gave me. I searched for the invoice for 3 months but couldn't find it so I went back to him, in February, 2021, thinking he will still have the duplicate. When I explained to him he promised to help me but said i should be calling him every Sunday to remind him, I did this for about 4 months and he later told me he can't find it, then I said he should return my money, he said he is not sure whether I even pay him that I should go and bring evidence, fortunately for me, I paid him through bank transfer (UBA USSD Code), so I went to UBA to get my account statement, when I collected the account statement and checked, I discovered neither his account name nor his account number was in the statement ( the bank just wrote irrelevant numbers which only the bank knows its use), I took this to him and he denied it immediately that the evidence is not genuine. I then said OK let's go to the bank together so as to confirm from your own account and my own account (we are both using UBA), he said he can't leave his shop, he knows I truly sent money to him because his wife has confirmed it but he is just not ready to release the money and even claiming there's nothing I can do. I have paid 150K for shop which my brother will use for this business and the rent will expire this month August, I have lost a lot on this and I don't want it to slide just like that, so I'm planning to sue him and claim damages, I just need how to start this process from you guys. Thanks

Good evening. Just want to inquire what losing the invoice means. Is it that important (in this future case)? If yes, that may pose a problem.
But don't let it stop you from seeking justice.
