Yesterday, two ladies shared their horrible sexual assault experience with the same Uber driver.
Today, another Nigerian lady has just called out Uber claiming she
was robbed last week Tuesday in an Uber in Lagos, and valuables
including jewelry, phones worth 1M were taken away.The lady, Christabel,
sister to fashion blogger, Ono Bello shared her story.
She wrote;
“I got robbed on Tuesday the 27th of June using uber in Lagos. The
driver took me off my route to a very lonely dark spot. He had enough
time to leave the place. He just stopped the car meanwhile the engine
was still running. A guy emerged from no where peeping into the car I
told him dis guy is dangerous please leave. He looked at the guy and
kept on looking at his phone. The bad guy came with another guy smashed
both the windows from behind the left and right respectively. I
sustained multiple cuts. They went away with my valuables. Uber is
saying they ain’t going to compensate me for my loss and horrific
experience. I had to arrest the Uber driver, the case is in court’.
‘Uber is a win win organisation. Just for the money. If you use
Uber and calamity struck. You are on your own. Beware of Uber Nigeria.
I’m lucky to be alive. I am still weighing my option on how to make a
case with Uber. Uber ought to take adequate measure in ensuring the
drivers are well trained and make proper background check on the
drivers. Failure to do do they ought to be accountable. I am left with
nothing but pain and sorrow. My crime was that I used Uber’.
