Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has called out the dispatch rider who professed love to her earlier this year.
In a lengthy social media post, she accused the dispatch rider of sending her photographs, videos and unsolicited sexual materials.
Threatening legal action, Martins said he has been contacting her through different phone numbers, despite her repeatedly blocking him and making it clear she doesn’t want further communication.
Sarah said she is keeping records of the phone numbers, messages, and other forms of harassment and wouldn’t hesitate to report him to law enforcement and other appropriate legal channels.
“Opeyemi, the dispatch rider, this is a final and very serious warning.
After making a delivery to me, you sent an unsolicited romantic message, which I found inappropriate and offensive. I reported your conduct to the company you worked for and spoke publicly about what happened. Despite the backlash I received, I still chose to treat you with humanity. I called you, spoke with you, took you to lunch and went shopping for you.
I found your personality uncomfortable, including dishonesty, entitlement, ingratitude and disrespect. Even after distancing myself, I still allowed a used motorcycle, gifted by one of my followers after my intervention, to get to you.
You have since continued contacting me through more than 30 different phone numbers, despite my repeatedly blocking you and making it clear that I do not want further communication.
Do not send me photographs, videos or unsolicited sexual material.
Any further unsolicited nude or sexually explicit material will be preserved as evidence and reported to the appropriate authorities.
I am keeping records of the phone numbers, messages and other forms of harassment. Do not delete, alter or attempt to conceal any communications you have sent. Further contact will be documented.
This is your final warning. If you contact me again or continue to harass me, I will pursue the matter formally through law enforcement and any other appropriate legal channels. I will not debate, negotiate or issue repeated warnings.
Respect my boundary or face the law!”.
Earlier this year, a rider had claimed that he lost his job after expressing his feelings for Sarah. Sharing screenshots of their chats, Sarah questioned whether she should feel sorry for costing him his job, describing his behaviour as disrespectful and disgusting.
In a follow-up post, she revealed that the rider lied about being sacked; he had only been cautioned. Martins stated that she has a pure heart and will never deprive anyone of food, regardless of their actions. She explained that her aim in reporting him was to have him cautioned.
Following his declaration of love, Sarah had treated him to a date – took him shopping and had a luxury lunch. Martins, however, made it clear that she wasn’t saying yes to his love request, but was extending her hand of love to him, reminding him that he is worthy of love and affection regardless of his status.
The movie star later revealed that the dispatch rider is married and has a daughter. Sarah said her disappointment isn’t the fact that he lied to her, but the audacity to deny his wife and child and publicly humiliate them by professing love to him. She said this is one of the major reasons she will never date low.
