Nigerian Uber driver stabbed to death in New York by MediaNGN: 7:44pm On Mar 04, 2019
The Nigerian man who was fatally stabbed inside his car in The Bronx on Saturday night drove for Uber, the ride-sharing giant said in a statement Sunday.

The for-hire driver, identified by the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers, as Ganiyu Gandonu, 27, from Ogun State, was found bleeding from his neck and torso inside his Toyota Camry around 9:10 p.m. along the Hutchinson River Parkway East in Baychester, cops said.

Investigators have yet to announce a motive or identify a suspect, but, on Sunday night, police released new surveillance video of a person of interest wanted in the fatal stabbing.

Police said the video shows a man dressed in all dark clothing. The suspect ran off from the scene. Ganiyu was found stabbed in the neck and chest in his car. He later died at Jacobi Medical Center.

“I know for sure that he got no problem with anybody. He start this job. He worked. After work, he’s home. He don’t go to parties, met friends, go to clubs, nothing, nothing nothing,” said his widow, Latifat Alimi, said.

Alimi told The Post that before the deceased left for work, he lamented, “I’m tired, but I have to go and make money.”

The couple then talked again by phone shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday, but the call was cut short when Ganiyu picked up a fare, she said. “He said, ‘I’ll call you back. I have a customer,’ ” said Alimi, 24. He never called back.

When Naija Uber drivers are being killed in their own country, why won't they suffer same fate outside?

The police will hardly have any serious interest in going after the killer since the victim is not one of theirs

Such a holy shitt

For him to be stabbed (most likely by Americans) is one unfortunate thing.

But more unfortunate is the less likelihood of REAL investigation to get justice for the 27 yr Ganiyu Gandonu's family due to racism. Pls goats should spare me the dogshit tales that Americans are not racists. All white men are racists, though with varying degrees. And Nigerian govt is very unlikely to make any official statement in this regard.

But if an American is involved in a minor accident in Nigeria, Donald Trump will call buhari to ask how the accident happened as if accidents don't occur in the States.

Anyway, rip to Ganiyu Gandonu and may God grant his family the fortitude to bear this unfortunately irreparable loss.

This is sad. You go in search of the proverbial green pasture and then this angry angry. It is not where you go that makes you successful, it is who goes with you. Prayerfully find out where you are meant to be and either go or stay there.
