A Nigerian lady, identified as Jennifer, seen in the viral courtroom video, in which a man named Emmanuel sued her for allegedly breaking a promise after he sent her transport fare has broken her silence.
According to Jennifer, Emmanuel was only an online acquaintance, and they had never met in person. She went on to explain that he had pressured her to travel from Asaba to Abuja to see him, despite her initial 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?”
She went on saying that, after she didn’t make the trip, Emmanuel and his friends allegedly began issuing threats over the money.
She added that she later offered to return the money, but he rejected it and became upset. She asked, “What if I had gone there and something happened to me? You people would still blame me, Women don’t insist in staying one place, you people will still talk. What do you really want?”.
Jennifer went on to say that she eventually repaid Emmanuel #450,000, as ordered by the court, not just the #50,000 circulating on the internet.
