A Nigerian woman popularly known as the Auto Queen has broken her silence over a harrowing legal ordeal that saw her fitted with an ankle monitoring bracelet for more than three years after being wrongly accused of a crime in the United States.
In an emotional post shared on her social media page on Monday, September 14, 2026, the Auto Queen recounted the toll the experience took on her, revealing that the case was finally dismissed with prejudice on 11 September 2024.

She described the monitoring device as deeply restrictive, explaining that it had to be charged at a specific time each day and could never be removed.
Beyond the physical inconvenience, she said the situation came with layers of humiliation she is still processing.
"I could not wear any of my short dresses for those years," she wrote. "On top of that there were more punishments they subjected me to, that were worse than this."
How the case against her collapsed
The Auto Queen alleged that the person actually responsible for the crime was in Lagos, Nigeria, celebrating his wedding while she endured the legal consequences meant for him. According to her, authorities appeared more focused on her than on tracking down the real culprit.

She credited her own determination for turning the case around, saying she personally mobilised teams to locate the suspect and compel him to account for his actions.
"I would have still been in this situation if I did not take matters into my own hands and mobilise teams to sort out the culprit and have him account for his crimes," she wrote.
Once the authorities established she had no connection to the offence, the case was dropped. But she expressed disbelief that the system could make such a serious error in the first place.
"No amount can compensate"
The Auto Queen said she struggled to articulate how psychologically devastating the experience was, adding that the damage it caused cannot be measured in money.
"It is all cruise and fun until you are accused by the highest law enforcers in the world of a crime you did not do. Your brain will feel like it's exploding," she wrote.
She closed her account with a note of gratitude, crediting her survival of the ordeal to her faith.
Fans responded with an outpouring of support, though some also raised questions about her business dealings:
