A man has sued a popular loan app after they embarrassed and thre@tened him over a loan they “sweet-talked” him into taking.
The story was shared on X by @Adasu_d_gr8. According to her, the man claimed that Okash was frequenting calling him to take a loan. And after coercing and sweet talking him into collecting the loan against his will, they are now embarrassing him with phone calls and thre@tening his life with inflated interest rate.
The story has stirred reactions from X-users online:
@TobechiOgazi If those facts hold, that is more than bad business, that is predatory conduct. You cannot har@ss someone into a loan and then pun!sh them for it. Consent obtained through pressure is not real consent. This is exactly why regulation keeps coming up in that sector. This kind of situation shows that legal knowledge alone is not enough.
@thefinthrive Nigeria is not ripe for credit. An average Nigerian both the rich and the poor always have the mindset of defaulting on repayment. 80% of debtors borrow money for wrong reasons (emergencies) without having any plans or cashflow to pay back.
@Haim_game Funny how he won’t win. He should go back and read the agreement he signed. Let’s reason a bit, if a woman is all flirty with you, is that a reason to r@pe her? E go tey for prison.
@abona1000 They way they call me daily to take their loan is alarming!!! If they don’t miss calling you to take loans , how will it be when u are unable to pay! F3ar loan apps !!!
