“From N3k to N150K” – Court orders lady to pay man for failing to show up after collecting N3k fare
A Nigerian lady has been ordered by an Enugu Magistrate court to pay the sum of N150,000 to a man after collecting N3k transport fare and refusing to show up.
The court reportedly granted the sum of N150,000 in damages to the man after he filed a suit against the lady who breached an agreement.
The story was shared on Twitter by a lawyer who stated that the magistrate made the decision to serve as a deterrent to others.
The lawyer wrote:
“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.”
