Collecting Transport Fare From A Man Without Going To See Him Is An Offense That Could Land You In Jail — Rivers Police PPRO

The Rivers State Police Command has cautioned against the act of collecting transport money from men without fulfilling the agreement to visit them, describing it as fraud.

In a statement on Thursday, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, said such conduct amounts to “obtaining money under false pretence,” an offence punishable under Nigerian law.

She warned young women who indulge in the act to desist, stressing that the police will not hesitate to treat it as a case of 419.

“I am here to give you this piece of information because I am your number one bestie. Collecting transport fare without honouring the agreement is obtaining money under false pretence,” SP Iringe-Koko said.
