A lady in Lagos has narrated how she was robbed by the driver of a Bolt hailing cab on Wednesday, March 16, 2022..
The young lady identified on Twitter as IMBORO@_kimaura said she booked the ride going to Lekki on the fateful day.
During the trip, the driver began asking her questions about herself and began speaking Igbo to her when he discovered she’s from the East.
Halfway through the trip, precisely at Ikoyi, he pleaded with her to let him pick up something from his brother and before she could respond, he stopped his car and a man entered the passenger seat.
The driver then told her that he was supposed to “use” her but because she’s his sister, he will let her go with her life.
The horrified passenger said she was thoroughly beaten by both men as they robbed her of her money, ID card, mobile app pin, ATM pin, and produced a knife, threatening to kill her if she doesn’t cooperate.
After transferring the money she had in her account, they threw her out of the car and zoomed off.
Bolt has responded to her tweets, asking for details about the driver so they can investigate.
KIMBORO@_kimaura· so guys, i got robbed on wednesday night at ikoyi by my bolt driver, he took my phone, my cards, my ID, all my money and savings, lemme tell you how it happened.
I ordered a bolt ride going to lekki, after i got into the ride which was a heavily tinted car and we started the trip.
The driver started trying to make conversation with me, he kept asking me questions about myself and where i’m from, it turned out that we were from the same state according to him, he even started speaking igbo with me in my dialect.
After a while, he begged to advice me because i’m his sister saying next time, i shouldn’t enter a stranger’s car, i was still confused, that was when he asked the guy in the passenger seat to slap me, guys!! they slapped the living daylight out of me! the guy took everything i had on me, my cards my ID card, my atm pins, my mobile app pins, he transferred all the money in my accounts including my savings to one of my cards, my phone, my bag, he then brought out a knife threatening to use it on me if i didn’t do as they asked, i was scared shitless!
It was at this point that driver said that it was my lucky day because he wanted to “use me”, but that he won’t because he doesn’t use his sisters (remember he claimed we were from the same state). All this while he was circling round ikoyi, he then stopped somewhere close to obalende, gave me 1k naira saying he doesn’t want his sister to be stranded and then practically pushed me out of the car and zoomed off, by this time i was practically screaming and panting, the 1k was enough to get me to where i was going after which i tried to calm down and forget.
What i had just experienced. I’m just very grateful to God for saving me and preserving my life. Be safe out there guys, indeed crazy things are happening.
