Drama as a masquerade confronts a lady to demand her phone number after unexpectedly spotting her on the road.
The bizarre and shocking encounter was captured by the lady herself, who shared the video online to express her fear and disbelief at the incident. According to her, she was simply walking along the road when the masquerade suddenly started chasing after her, insisting that he wanted to have a conversation.
In the video, she could be heard screaming and asking what he wanted from her as he continued to approach her with determination. Instead of backing off, the masquerade shockingly replied that he wanted her phone number. The lady, visibly shaken and confused, asked him what he intended to use her number for. In response, he told her he simply wanted to "talk to her later," all while brandishing his cane in the air in a threatening manner.
She pleaded with him to let her go, but the masquerade persisted, leaving her no choice but to continue recording as proof of what she was facing. The encounter, though frightening to her, has sparked a mix of amusement and outrage online, with many questioning the conduct of the masquerade and the safety of young women during such cultural displays.
