Court sitting at Milimani small claims in Nairobi Kenya has ordered a woman to pay her boyfriend Kshs 23,750 after she allegedly ate the boyfriend’s transport fare and did not show up at his birthday party.
It is alleged that the suspect asked the boyfriend to send her Kshs 3,000 to pay for a taxi to attend the man’s birthday party but she did not show up and instead switched off her phone.
The man went to the small claims court and filed the suit together with evidence which includes his M-pesa statement and WhatsApp chats between him and the lady before and after sending the money after the lady ignored his messages and then switched off her phone.
The lady was ordered to refund the man Kshs 3,000 plus interest of Kshs 750 and a further Kshs 20,000 in damages for the emotional anguish he went through.
The boyfriend was excited after the ruling as the lady cried and cursed the magistrate for the harsh punishment. It forced the police to unpluck her from the court after she tried to cause chaos.
