Josephine Adeh, police public relations officer (PPRO) in the FCT, has lamented that “the rate at which Nigerian men break women’s hearts is saddening”. 

The FCT police PRO expressed her displeasure over failed relationships in Nigeria via a post on X.

Adeh said most of the cases she is attending to lately are related to women being jilted by men — although she did not provide sufficient information to back her claim.

She described the situation as “distasteful” while urging men not to “get into a relationship if you don’t want anything serious”.

“It’s distasteful to lead a woman on and then break her heart. The rate at which men are doing this is saddening. Most of the calls I receive these days are from women sharing their experiences in tears. Men, please, don’t start a relationship if you don’t want anything serious,” she wrote.

Also airing his opinion via the tweet’s comment section, Bright Edafe, the Delta state police PRO, claimed most ladies go into relationships with “too many expectations”. He also argued that women who date internet fraudsters are bound to be jilted.

“I feel women gets into relationships with too much expectation. Most women are not ready to invest in men. Already made men. And secondly, if you are in a relationship with a Yahoo boy, forget it, you are single. Meanwhile, you know I can’t break your heart sha,” he wrote.
