Collecting Transport Fare From Man Without Showing Up Is Punishable Offence – Police

The 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.
