Luck
has ran out on an Uber driver who stole a million naira from a South
African passenger and her passport before disappearing.
The Uber driver caught by the police after stealing cash and passport belonging to a South African woman
A South African woman, Mongy Mathobela who was allegedly robbed by
the Uber driver she booked had narrated her ugly experience in the hands
of the driver which led to him being caught.
Mathobela while expressing her anger had said: “I’m a visitor in Nigeria. I went to the bank to withdraw money in Lekki, so he saw the money that I had it in my bag.
"He left me stranded on the road luckily, I had my phone on me
because I wanted to buy something on the side of the road. I even bought
him food and paid him more than what he was supposed to be paid and
inside my bag it was my passport and money 500k naira and $2000.
"Please help me share this so that I can get my passport and go
back to my country my flight is on Thursday I do not have a passport.
Pls help.”
Here is a report how the Uber driver was arrested:
“He was able to drive off with the bag because she was to pick
up a document from one Yemi in bakare estate,agungi and head to South
Africa .so as usual she went into the compound and asked him (driver )to
give her few minutes.by the time they came out he was no where to be
found and he sent her a text saying he drove off to the nearby mosque to
pee and he was coming right back but that was the end of the show
before they realized he was gone for good.
"Mo has been using the guy since she travelled down to Nigeria and she’s a very nice and generous lady.
"She saw the guy as a young and cool guy and showed support to
encourage his hustle.mo would give this guy 50 percent of whatever her
fare came to and just last week she said he drove her to balogun or was
it ogba and in the process someone picked his iPhone 5 and she had to
give him 75k to get a new phone but he didn’t get an iPhone but at least
he got a phone with an internet to sort his Uber directory and all.
"She gets him food at every outing and made him
comfortable.so,it was after the story went viral that his neighbor on
the mainland alerted Mo through her DM TO COME TO a particular address
on the mainland.then the neighbors alerted others to use cars to block
the taxi so as for him not to be able to drive out because already he
had packed his stuff. Thats they were able to arrest him.”
