A Nigerian woman recounts a disturbing encounter after declining a ride offer — the man allegedly followed her across Abuja, obtained her phone number by bribing her driver, and transferred ₦500,000 to her OPay account.
"Went to Wuse market to get some materials, I was waiting for for my ride and a man pulled up in my front with GLS 450 (tinted)
He rolled down and was like “Hello, what’s a pretty girl like you doing under this hot sun”, told him I was going home. He offered to drop me,I d£clined and told him my ride is few minutes away. He proceeded to ask me my name and phone number- I told him my name but refused to give him my line.
My ride came, he offered to pay and I declined again. This man followed me from Wuse to Gwarinpa. I texted my sister immediately and had to drop at a mall so he doesn’t follow me home. Followed another route and went home.
After about an hour a number called me and it was him, asked him how he got my line he said he had to brib£ the driver to give him my number. I end£d the call.
Next thing I got a credit alert of #500,000 in my OPay and he texted me on WhatsApp that he sent the money to show me how serious he is. I told him to send his account so I can send the money back that I’m not interested, he refused. I had to bl0ck him immediately cos he’s older and definitely a married man"
