Ghanaian poet, Mutombo has recounted an ordeal he had with a Diasporan lady he met at the Kotoka International Airport.
According to him, he picked a lady he didn’t know from the airport because she said her friends in Ghana have ditched her and not responding to her text, etc. They got to his car and she went on IG story and told the whole world that they should see her Uber!
“From that moment, that was it for me! But because I have sense, I didn’t ditch her or drive off! I ensured that she was safe. Got her food and everything that she wanted since she didn’t have cedis, then you decide to block me and escape with my money! In this Accraaaaaa? U lie!” he said.
“We walk to my car – that was when she took out her phone to make that IG story of my car being an Uber. I questioned her later and she gave me the weakest reason. She said it was a joke and mentioned something about America…wasn’t paying attention.” he added.
Mutombo says when they got out of the airport, she told him she needed anti-malarial pills, mosquito repellant and soap*.
“So I drive her to the pharmacy at the airport shell. She tells me she’s not got cedis, and I use my money to buy and she said she will give me my money back the next day! I’m calm!” he narrated.
“After pharmacy, she said she was hungry and needed a hotel. She asked for the price of Kempinski and I straight told her that “you can’t pay!” After going to 2 hotels, we finally get a hotel I pay 200ghc. Went to get her food, dropped her back in the hotel and I left!”
After footing all her bills, she told Mutombo that she would pay him back the total amount of GHS 300 the next day but he called and was told the lady had left the hotel.
Even though he devised a way of getting his money, the lady has released video suggested that Mutombo wanted sex from her.

One day I will tell u all a story of how a Year of Return member tried to run away with my money. But this is Accra, my city! I will never lose. Also when you have a clean/good heart…nothing will get you down! I have not been myself for days and it’s not because of the money…
