A dramatic turn of events unfolded in a Magistrate Court in Ilesa, Osun State, where Rhoda Adu was ordered to pay a whopping ₦150,000 to her boyfriend, Olapitan Sola. The incident began when Sola transferred ₦3,000 as transport fare to Rhoda, expecting her to visit him.

Rhoda had other plans, switching off her phone and failing to show up. Feeling defrauded and emotionally distressed, Sola reported the matter to the Ayeso Police Station

However, Rhoda had other plans, switching off her phone and failing to show up. Feeling defrauded and emotionally distressed, Sola reported the matter to the Ayeso Police Station, leading to Rhoda’s arrest and subsequent court appearance.

During the trial, Sola presented evidence, including the mobile money transfer and WhatsApp messages exchanged between him and Rhoda, which ultimately led to the court’s ruling. Magistrate Akogun Oludare ordered Rhoda to refund the ₦3,000, pay an additional ₦100,000 for breach of agreement, and another ₦50,000 as special damages for emotional distress. The court emphasized that this ruling was intended to deter others from similar behavior, sending a strong message that such actions will not be tolerated.
