- After collecting N3k to visit a Nigerian man, a lady switched off her phone and refused to honour the agreement
- The displeased man took her to court and has reportedly being awarded N150k in damages against the lady
An Enugu court has reportedly awarded N150k in damages against a lady after she collected N3k to visit a man but failed to show up.
A Nigerian lawyer @Egi_nupe_ who shared the story on Twitter said that the lady switched off her phone after collecting the money and this infuriated the man.
The displeased man approached the Enugu law court and won. In the judgement, the magistrate held that the lady’s act was deceitful.
The sum awarded was intended to serve as a deterrent to other ladies with such deceitful behaviours.
The tweets blew up and sparked a debate among both genders as people weighed in on the matter. See his tweet below:
