A Nigerian court has made a landmark ruling in a case involving a lady who failed to visit her boyfriend after receiving ₦3,000 as transport fare. The Magistrate Court in Ilesa, Osun State, ordered Miss Rhoda Adu to pay ₦150,000 as damages to her boyfriend, Olapitan Sola.
According to a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @DejiAdesogan, the court delivered the ruling after the boyfriend filed a complaint. The post read: “A Magistrate Court in Ilesa, Osun State, has ordered Miss Rhoda Adu to pay ₦150,000 damages to her boyfriend, Olapitan Sola. She collected ₦3,000 as transport fare but failed to visit him as promised.”
The ruling has sparked widespread reactions online, with many people praising the court’s decision. Some commentators have described the ruling as a “precedent” for similar cases, while others have expressed amusement at the significant difference between the amount received as transport fare and the damages awarded.
The case has also raised awareness about the importance of keeping promises and respecting agreements in relationships. As one commentator noted, “Don’t collect money if you are not coming. It’s a breach of contract.”
