A Nigerian lady has finally spoken out after a trending courtroom video showed her being sued by a man named Emmanuel, who accused her of breaching a promise after sending her transport fare.
In her side of the story, the lady explained that Emmanuel was someone she only met online and had never seen in person. According to her, Emmanuel insisted she travel from Asaba to Abuja to meet him, despite her refusal.
She said:
“Before Emmanuel sent that money to me for transportation, I told him he should come over to my city. He said no, that he cannot visit a woman. Out of the blue, this guy just sent me ₦50,000, saying it was transport fare to come and see him. Where will ₦50,000 take me from Asaba to Abuja?”
The lady revealed that after she didn’t travel, Emmanuel and his friends allegedly began threatening her over the money. She claimed she later offered to refund it, but Emmanuel refused and instead got angry.
“What if I had gone there and something happened to me? You people would still blame me. Women don’t insist on staying in one place, you people will still talk. What do you really want?” she asked in frustration.
She went on to allege that she eventually refunded him ₦450,000, not just the ₦50,000 being circulated online. She also accused some people of secretly recording her despite a court order against filming the case.
