Breaking! Court Fines Nigerian Lady N150,000 For Failing To Visit Boyfriend After Receiving N3,000 Transport Fare



A Magistrate Court in Ilesa, Osun State, ordered Rhoda Adu to pay N150,000 as damages for failing to visit her boyfriend, Olapitan Sola, after receiving N3,000 for transportation.

Ms. Rhoda switched off her phone and failed to show up after Mr. Olapitan sent her transport fare to visit him.

Unable to contact Ms. Adu after sending her transport fare, Mr. Olapitan felt defrauded and emotionally distressed and reported the incident to the Ayeso Police Station.

Ms. Rhoda was thereafter arrested and brought to the court where evidence of the incident was submitted, which included the N3,000 transfer and WhatsApp messages between Mr. Olapitan and Ms. Adu.

Magistrate Akogun Oludare ruled that Mrs. Adu must refund the N3,000 transport fare, pay N100,000 for breaching their agreement, and an additional N50,000 as special damages for causing Mr. Olapitan emotional distress.

The court also noted that its ruling was intended to deter others from committing similar offenses.

Some reactions included:

  • @davidchibuike_: “See better investment. His 3k turned to 150k. 50x.”
  • @Oladapomikky1: “The best way to go…. Highly commendable.”
  • @anasuachara: “Our people say that the ear that will hear word does not need to be as big as cocoayam leaf 🌿. Urgent ₦5k girls beware. A similar decision was given at Enugu last year. Very soon, this nonsense will stop. Don’t collect money if you are not coming. It’s a breach of contract.”
  • @uchebakaadi: “Gbam, loud am 4 those at d back. Send me Magi aza kam machie apa. Elevate am to Supreme Court. D fight back has started we must take back our money tenfold. Power must change hand.”
  • @Kayloaded1: “Good, we now have a precedent on this romance scam.”
  • @dol_apo: “Wow. In the landmark case of Mr. Sola Olapitan versus Miss Rhoda Adu….. The rest is history. I love this precedent.”
