Meet in public in Addis Ababa, arrange your own transport, tell someone where in Addis Ababa you are going and video call first. Never send money to an Addis Ababa match or to anyone else you have met online.

What if there are not many members in Addis Ababa yet?

Widen your radius beyond Addis Ababa for a week and check back. DateMio is used across Ethiopia and the Addis Ababa pool grows as more members near Addis Ababa join, so an early quiet spell in Addis Ababa is not the final picture.
