A Nigerian lady has recounted how her friend was robbed by a man she went on a date with.

According to a Twitter user, Tem Tem, her friend’s phone was stolen under the pretence that he, her date, needed to make a call.

”Guys, my friend was robbed this night and not by armed robbers or anything but by a guy she went on a date with.

“She met with the guy in a restaurant and he was like his phone battery was low and he needed to make an important call.

“She gave him her phone to make the call, he kept going back and forth and that was how she didn’t see him again.

“Her number is switched off.

“I’m glad she’s safe. Please, ladies, let’s be careful out here o, these thieves are getting more creative.

“He even left a business envelope on the table that was tagged confidential and when she opened it, it was empty.”
