Lady drags man to court for exposing her after she didn't show up at his place

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man was dragged to court by a lady who he exposed over her failure to show up at his house after he sent her N1,500 transport fare.

Narrating why he dragged her to court, Lubem said they became good friends on Facebook after a series of chats, but Kor said she wanted to know him better and this made him send N1500 to her for transport.

Lubem added that she had actually told him her t-fare was N500 but he sent an extra N1,000 to demonstrate his generosity.
