A Ghanaian man has narrated how a simple act of kindness landed him in trouble after he offered a woman a lift from Amasaman to Pokuase.
According to him, the woman had pleaded with him at Amasaman for a ride to Pokuase to attend to an emergency.
He explained that during the journey, the woman suddenly asked him to stop so she could alight.
However, after stopping, she refused to get down and shockingly insisted that he must pay her before she would leave the vehicle.
The situation escalated into a confrontation, drawing the attention of some men nearby who approached the scene.
The woman then accused him of having an affair with her and claimed he owed her GHS1,000 for her services. The man said the onlookers forced him to bargain with the woman.
Speaking in the viral video, the man narrated, “ Today I have cried a lot. I left the house going to work, when I got to Amasaman, a lady was standing by the roadside and begged me for a lift. The lady claimed he had an emergency at Pokuase, so I should take her there, as she was dressed nicely. I agreed to offer her the ride.
Getting to Pokuase, the lady asked me to stop so she could alight there after parking. She was looking at my face and asked me to give her his money”.
The man added. “Two men arrived, and the woman claimed he slept with me last night, and I am refusing to pay her. I told the people the lady was lying and that I just gave her a lift. But the two men supported the lady after all I said. Another man also joined in the confrontation, and they narrated the situation to her. The men even threatened to harm me, and I begged them, but they still insisted I pay her”.
The lady claimed we had bargained, and I told her I was going to pay her a thousand cedis. The men even wanted to enter my car, so I locked the door, but the lady was in the car talking to the men. The man pleaded with the lady to reduce the money as I will not be able to pay everything. The lady then asked for 800 cedis”.
The man added that he was compelled to pay GHS700 through a mobile money transfer.
Meanwhile, some netizens have commented on the situation, saying, “ Do not give strangers a lyft..The best you can do is help with money or book bolt for them”.
“A few loopholes, sure, but not outrageous. It’s a mad world out there. If it were me, I’d have tried to secretly record for later ID. But looking at it, those guys seemed in on it, and in that case, pulling your phone could’ve made things a whole lot riskier”, another stated.
“I now understand why my neighbour doesn’t like giving females a lift. Edey make sense now”, one more netizen added.
Additionally, another X user added, “Dear men, it’s not so common for a lady to stop you for a lift in this Accra, when that happens you have to know she’s up to something; run”.
“The story doesn’t make sense to me oo. So why didn’t ask her to show you and them prove that you booked her and slept with her.. if truly you didn’t do anything, u should have called someone u spoke with before going to sleep or someone you live with”, one more X user added.
A netizen wrote, “After you send, you immediately have to call MTN to tell them that you have done a wrong transaction to a wrong number, so they should hold the money for you. They will do it right away.
You have to be vigilant when you are on the street, sorry 😢 bro next time you have to be sharp”.
