A Twitter user known as Egi_nupe_ on Instagram has narrated how a lady was punished by law for not showing up after collecting 3,000 naira from a man as transport fare.
The defendant stated that she switched off her phone and refused to visit him after collecting 3,000 naira from him. He was angry at her actions and sued her for deceit.
The magistrate at the court tagged the lady’s action as deceitful and told her to pay N150k for damages to serve as a lesson to others with such behaviour.
In his words:
“A court in Enugu has reportedly set a good precedent by awarding damages of 150k against a lady. She was given 3k as transport fare to visit a guy and after collecting the money, she switched off her phone and refused to visit him. Infuriated by her action, he reported and sued her for deceit.
“In the judgement, the magistrate held that the lady’s action was deceitful and awarded the sum of 150k against her to serve as deterrence to others with such deceitful behavior.”
