She said the man approached her and her friends during the service, asked her age and why the church was crowded, and subsequently requested her phone number.
Nimo said she shared her number and that the man began texting her after the service. She described their exchanges as discussions that later led to an agreement to meet again.
Agreement to Meet
According to Nimo, their text discussions culminated in plans to meet for what the man described as “a date” at his apartment. She said she informed two friends of her intention to go and kept them updated on her location throughout the subsequent meetings.
“Before I left, I had already told two of my friends, and I was updating them the whole time,” Nimo said during the interview.
Reflecting on her decision, she described the choice to go to the man’s apartment as a mistake. “Going to his place was the biggest mistake, like a stranger telling me to come, and I decided to go,” she said, acknowledging a lapse in judgment.
Clarifying What Did — and Did Not — Happen
Nimo addressed widespread rumors about the nature of their time together, emphasizing that nothing inappropriate took place during the visit.
“Nothing happened between us… If it was going to happen, it would have happened, but it didn’t happen,” she said, underscoring that there was no physical intimacy.
