BleedingPen:
A Nigerian lady has taken to Twitter to narrate her experience in the hands of a Bolt (taxify) driver, Igbere TV reports.

Igbere TV reports that the lady identified as Akinola Tosin, said she was assaulted by the driver in Lagos.

According to her, trouble started when she got to her destination and opted to pay via transfer but the driver ended up not getting the alert.

She said she explained to the driver that she carried out the transaction and even showed him the debit alert but the driver wouldn't let her go.

He instead took her away from her destination and drove all the way down to UNILAG gate and forced her out.

She, however, said she insisted that the driver must take her back to her destination, which the man rejected and took her to the station.

She wrote;

“Ok this driver (attached photo) took me to my house, I did a transfer to him, he didn’t get the money and this man locked the car, wind up the windows and drove me away from my house to Unilag gate, ranting all the way, ‘I ll disgrace you today’.

“All the way I kept showing him the prof of payment via my phone but he wouldn’t answer. I told him there was no point moving me away from my destination since he already drove me there. Told him if he takes me anywhere, he’s gonna take me back to my destination cos I paid him.

“Only for him to get to gate, skipped the Unilag gate securities and drove me to the side of the road where keke napep going to bariga do load and asked us (my friend n I) to come down from the car. I told him we would not, he had to take us home, only for him to assault us.

“I would have posted the videos but my boobs were literally out since he tore my cloth already. I sent the videos to @Boltapp_ng and I’m yet to get a response.

“Then he drove me to Bariga police station where he he lied incessantly and he got the police to side him. I narrated what happened to them but they seemed blind and deaf to the fact that he assaulted me. Kept me behind the counter while he roamed freely. Slut-shamed me severally.

“Making it seem like I’m a slut and because of that I deserved the assault. Constantly slut-shaming my mother too. Funny thing is, he didn’t check his phone till he got to gate, assaulted me and the matter escalated before he actually grabbed his phone to even check.

“I have voice recordings of him saying all sorts to me. Like the police actually said they understand him acting this way cos he hadn’t gotten the alert. Like you mean a man can assault me cos of that? Telling me to forget the fact that he slut shamed myself and my mother

“Before I even knew it Baba had removed my wig and I was seeing this on my face, seeing myself almost half naked @Boltapp_ng

“Eventually, my sis came to the police station, did the transfer two more times, got debited each time. Then it dawned on him then that it’s most likely his bank. Then the police settled for him making calls to us and refunding the money when he gets them all.

“The same calling I advised him to do from the start in case he doesn’t get the money .

“I asked my friend to alert the securities at unilag gate and instead of him to wait he started to drive off, to bariga. Throughout the ride my door was wide opened yet he didn’t stop. @Boltapp_ng pls ask him why he didn’t wait for the securities to attend to the matter

“This particular guy (attached photo) wasn’t at the scene. But he came to bear false witness for the guy and kept lying without conscience.

“There were two women at the station, police officers. Before they even heard anything at all, they already called me a runs girl multiple times. Then when I stood up to them telling them to stop calling me names and all they put me behind the counter.

“These men (attached photo) that came to the scene to get him off me started to beg me, asking me to dead the matter and go home. Cos I didn’t yield they got mad at me for not accepting. And I’m like after he did all these to me, I should just say ok and go home? Then they connived with him.

“They were the ones that told him not to stay at the scene to let Unilag securities meet him there. They told him to drive off, deceiving me that he’s just gonna park at MRS filling station.”

Igbere TV was able to obtain some exclusive pictures of the alleged assault, including video recording of the driver and audio of the scenario.

Her tweets have attracted several comments with many condemning the act and calling for the driver's arrest.

Some Twitter users however sided the driver saying he may have fell victim of fake alerts in the past, adding that taxify does not support transfer as method of payment.

The Police Public Complaints Unit has similarly reached out to the lady on Twitter, assuring that her complaints had been noted.

Similarly, popular civil right activist and #EndSARS convener, @SegaLink, had reached out to the lady, assuring that justice must be served.

“Distinguished @akinolatosin7, please be assured that this driver will be made an example by @Boltapp_ng, a brand I know to be strict on impunity & human right abuse. You will get a response soonest from Bolt as the evidence on this case is being gathered. He won’t go unpunished”, he wrote.
