Lady jailed 7 years for failing to honour Abuja-based man’s invitation (Videos)

The Nigerian lady who went viral after a courtroom video showed her being sued by a man who accused her of breaching a promise after he sent her transport fare has broken her silence.

The clip showed the lady, identified as Jennifer, being given a seven year prison sentence, with an option to pay a N450,000 fine, for accepting transport money from the man named Emmanuel and not following through on a visit.

In a now viral video, Jennifer disclosed that the dispute began when she met Emmanuel online.

She said, despite their friendship, they had never met in person. According to Jennifer, Emmanuel wanted her to travel from her home in Asaba to see him in Abuja, but she insisted that since they had never met, he should be the one to see her.

The lady said Emmanuel, however, refused, arguing that he can not “visit a woman”.

She added that he suddenly transferred N50,000 to her account with a message that it was for her transportation and that he expected to see her the next day.

Jennifer said she was unimpressed by the gesture.

“I will just make this very short because this whole thing is circulating on the internet.

So I will just cut the whole sob story and make it very short.

“Emmanuel sent me money for transportation so that he could see me, but he is a friend I met online, so I do not really know him, and I have never met him in person,” she said.

“So before Emmanuel sent that money to me, I told him to come over to my city first, but he said no, that he could not go to visit a woman. Later, he told me he wanted me to come over, but I also told him that I could not come visit a man I did not really know and had never met before.

“Out of the blue, this guy just sent me N50,000 with a text message that this was my transportation and he wanted to see me the next day.”

She said she did not acknowledge the payment or his subsequent messages demanding to know why she hadn’t arrived.

She said that soon after, she began receiving threatening calls from Emmanuel’s friends.

She said she was alarmed by the calls and attempted to defuse the situation by offering a refund.

Jennifer said after a second attempt to return the money failed because Emmanuel still refused to provide his details, she suggested he use the funds to travel to her instead. According to her, by then, the matter had already been taken to court.

The legal proceedings resulted in her now viral sentence: seven years in jail or a fine of N450,000. Jennifer confirmed that the case has been resolved.

“Like you are doing alpha male for me with N50,000? What should I use N50,000 for? So I just ignored him and did not reply to that message.

“The following day, he sent me another message asking why I was not there yet, but I also ignored,” she said.

“Before I knew it, I started getting calls and threats from people, his friends. I do not know who he gave my number but they kept threatening me that their friend sent me money.

“When I started getting calls from all these people, I then reached out to him that I am no longer comfortable with what is going on and that he should send his account number let me forward the money to him.

“He said no, just glared up and started sending some kind of messages.

“He was so angry, and he said a lot of things that I would not like to say here.

“After two days, I reached out again and I told him that now that you have sent this money, you know it would not be enough, and you do not want to send your account number so I can refund, come to my city instead.”

“I do not want to say much about this issue because the whole case has been sorted out.

“I gave him the N450,000. Obviously, it is nothing to me, that is why I was surprised when he sent N50,000 for transport.”

Ex-CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele Denies Allegations of Financing Terrorism

Former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, has strongly denied allegations linking him to terrorism financing in Nigeria, describing the claims as “mischievous and malicious.”

In a statement released on Saturday, December 6, 2025, Emefiele said the reports were “entirely fabricated, baseless, and a deliberate attempt to malign my name, mislead the public, and sow confusion for motives best known only to the publishers and their sponsors.”

He emphasized that the fight against terrorism is too important to be trivialized by irresponsible reporting, warning that Nigerians deserve accurate information rather than “reckless misinformation.”

“Throughout my service to the nation and in my private life, at no time have I been involved in any activity remotely connected to terrorism, terrorist financing, or any action that threatens the peace and security of our nation,” Emefiele stated. He added that he has never been invited, questioned, or investigated regarding such allegations and has no connection to the individual cited in the media reports.

“There is no scintilla of truth in the allegation,” he said, urging the public to disregard the claims entirely and calling on media organizations to verify facts before publishing sensational stories.

Emefiele’s statement seeks to reaffirm his reputation and distances him from any activities undermining national security.

Police Launch Special Enforcement Team to Enforce Tinubu’s Ban on VIP Escorts

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has deployed a Special Enforcement Team in Lagos to enforce President Bola Tinubu’s directive ending the use of police officers as escorts and guards for Very Important Persons (VIPs).

The operation, according to a statement posted on the Force’s official X account on Saturday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, commenced at about 10:00 a.m. on December 6, 2025, across key locations in Lagos State.

Hundeyin confirmed that the team carried out compliance checks at major points, including the Lekki–Ikoyi Link Bridge, the Murtala Muhammed International Airport domestic terminal, and other strategic hotspots within the state.

He disclosed that officers found “satisfactory and commendable” compliance with the presidential directive, with no incidents of unauthorised police escort and no arrests recorded.

“The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, reiterates the Force’s commitment to the full implementation of the presidential directive,” the statement said. “The Nigeria Police Force remains resolute in redeploying its personnel to core policing duties aimed at enhancing general security, crime prevention, and the protection of lives and property nationwide.”

Hundeyin added that enforcement would continue across the country “without fear or favour,” urging Nigerians to support the push for a more professional and citizen-focused policing system.

President Tinubu had, on November 23, ordered the immediate withdrawal of police officers from VIP protection, directing that they be reassigned to frontline policing roles. According to the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, VIP protection will now be handled by armed operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

The policy aims to free up police manpower for critical security operations, particularly in underserved communities, and enhance overall national security efficiency.
