The case arose when Sola transferred ₦3,000 to Rhoda to facilitate her trip to visit him. However, instead of keeping her promise, Rhoda allegedly switched off her phone and did not show up. Feeling betrayed and emotionally distressed, Sola reported the matter to the Ayeso Police Station, leading to Rhoda’s subsequent arrest and arraignment in court.
During the trial, Sola provided evidence to support his claims, including a record of the mobile money transfer and screenshots of their WhatsApp conversations. The evidence detailed the agreement between the two, which Rhoda failed to honor.
Presiding over the case, Magistrate Akogun Oludare ruled in favor of Sola, describing Rhoda’s actions as deceitful and a breach of agreement. The court ordered Rhoda to refund the ₦3,000 she received, pay ₦100,000 as compensation for breaching the agreement, and an additional ₦50,000 as special damages for the emotional distress caused to Sola.

The Magistrate emphasized that the ruling should serve as a deterrent to others who might engage in similar deceptive behavior. “This court does not condone dishonesty and manipulation,” Magistrate Oludare stated.
The judgment has sparked widespread discussion, with many viewing it as a warning against exploiting relationships and taking financial assistance for granted.
