WARNING!!! Police Says It’s A Punishable Offence For Women Who Collect T-Fare From Men Without Showing Up
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Rivers State Police Command has cautioned against a common social trend of collecting transport money from men and failing to honour the meeting, warning that such behaviour is a punishable offence.
In a viral video circulating online, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Grace Iringe-Koko, described the act as fraudulent and punishable under the law.
“Taking transport fare from a man without actually going to meet him is an offence. It is regarded as obtaining money under false pretence, and the law considers it a crime,” she explained.
The police spokesperson noted that if reported, offenders could be arrested and prosecuted, stressing that people must desist from financial dealings that involve deceit.
The video has stirred a wide debate on social media, with some Nigerians arguing that the matter is more of a moral failing than a criminal act, while others agree that it constitutes fraud.
