Lady Fined ₦150k For Failing To Visit Boyfriend After Taking TP
A Magistrate Court in Ilesa, Osun State, has ordered Rhoda Adu to pay ₦150,000 to her boyfriend, Olapitan Sola. She collected ₦3,000 as transport fare but failed to visit him as promised.
The incident began when Olapitan Sola transferred the transport fare to Rhoda, who subsequently switched off her phone and failed to show up. Feeling defrauded and emotionally distressed, Sola reported the matter to the Ayeso Police Station. Rhoda was later arrested and brought to court.
During the trial, Sola presented evidence, including the mobile money transfer and WhatsApp messages exchanged between him and Rhoda.
In her ruling, Magistrate Akogun Oludare ordered Rhoda to refund the ₦3,000, pay an additional ₦100,000 for breach of agreement, and another ₦50,000 as special damages for emotional distress. The court emphasized that the ruling was intended to deter others from similar behaviour.
