Man Turns to Police After Woman Blocks Him Despite ₦14k Transport Money
Some people learn the hard way that sending money for “transport fare” can be riskier than playing the lottery. One Nigerian man certainly discovered this after his generosity landed him in a rather amusing – and slightly embarrassing – situation.
The man found himself frustrated after wiring ₦14,000 to a woman who promised to visit him. Instead of arriving at his doorstep, she blocked him on every platform, leaving him feeling duped. Certain that this wasn’t just a case of bad luck, he reached out to the police for help.
According to the report, the man messaged CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, explaining that he had proof of the transaction and details of the woman. In his complaint, he stated that he believed there was a legal consequence for such behavior and was eager to pursue it. The officer advised him to head to a police station to make the complaint official.
Things took an interesting turn when the lady in question apparently had a change of heart. She promised to return the entire ₦14,000 and apologize for her actions. Whether this was genuine remorse or just pressure from the authorities is anyone’s guess, but the man seemed relieved with the outcome.
As expected, the story stirred reactions online. Some people were shocked that taking transport money without showing up could land someone in trouble, while others insisted that once cash is sent for fare, it should be considered gone forever. A few pointed out that not all such scams are run by women—sometimes, a supposed “lady” behind the screen may not be one at all.
One commenter humorously remarked about the possibility of jail time over “chopping” transport money, while another lamented how these antics give hardworking women a bad name. The conversation highlighted a bigger issue: when people get away with small deceptions, others are encouraged to repeat them.
In the end, the tale serves as both a cautionary story and a reminder—if someone asks for transport money upfront, think twice before sending that transfer. Otherwise, you might just find yourself queuing at the police station with a complaint and a receipt in hand.
