A woman identified as Hagar Emmasey, who featured in a viral video involving alleged staff of Bills Micro Credit, has recounted the incident, insisting she was pushed during the confrontation and did not fall on her own.
Speaking in an interview Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, Madam Hagar explained that she has been taking loans from the company for about 15 years.
According to her, the most recent loan was GH¢1,000, with an agreement to repay it within 13 weeks. She said she usually repays loans via mobile money vendors, as she does not know how to make transfers herself.
Hagar stated that she had already paid most of the loan, with only GH¢300 remaining. She explained that she gave the money to a mobile money vendor to send, and after not hearing from the company for two weeks, she assumed the payment had been received.
The situation, she said, escalated last Friday evening when some staff from the company visited her home demanding the outstanding amount.
“They came to my house around 5pm and demanded the money, but I told them to wait until Monday so I could follow up with the vendor,” Hagar said.
She alleged that during the confrontation, one of the staff members seized her mobile phone. When she tried to retrieve it, another staff member allegedly pushed her, causing her to fall while holding her eight-month-old baby.
“I didn’t fall by myself; one of the staff pushed me, and that was how I fell with my baby,” she stated.
Hagar later reported the incident to the police and was issued a medical report for treatment at Atomic Polyclinic.
