What Legal Steps Can I Take to Recover Debts in Nigeria?

Good day everyone. I sold goods to two customers who promised to pay later. One said he forgot his phone at home and would settle when he got back. The other gave a similar excuse. I know them personally but not their addresses. They avoid my calls but pick up when someone else rings. I’ve learned it’s illegal to arrest someone over an unpaid debt. What legal options do I have to recover the money owed and possibly charge additional fees?
