craze man, security post by 1am pls go and sleep you must be on drugs. Somebody was running to his house for safety because a ritualist was calling her gang in her dialect to come kidnap him you are talking thrash. All her evidence would be thrown out of court with a mere review of the video.
So she could not have called the same gang to come to his house where he took her to, in the same dialect, right? Your answer will tell me if you are truly smart. cheesy

Lol, am sorry for engaging with you on this issue because it's obvious I just belittled myself. For your information she was making calls in a different language he didn't understand, since he wasn't from her tribe. Finally maybe when you get back after 30mins and don't find your car there or you find your car smashed then you will gladly receive the honour as the most foolish driver this 2018.

Come to think of it, if there was any security in the estate, if she feel he wants to rape or kidnap since obviously he is not going towards her destination, why didn't she wind down and scream for help? O I forgot they also have child lock for whining down as well lol
You keep repeating the same illogical statements. You truly don't get it...do you? shocked What stops her from making the same calls in a different language he didn't understand as he was driving her to his house? Or even as she got to the gate of his house? She could have given her informants their location in that same language he could not understand, not so? Why is this bit so hard for you to understand?? undecided

And the informants or assailants could have accosted him at his house, if that was truly her intention! shocked As for the possibility that his car would get stolen or smashed at the pick-up point if he left it there, that is why most Taxify and Uber vehicles carry some form of insurance as well as trackers, not so? Isn't it better to walk away with your dignity intact, than to keep dragging an issue with a cantankerous woman and end up losing your dignity, self-respect and source of livelihood? Like it just happened in his case?

He could also have gone elsewhere to any other public place, but not just to his house!

As for her not winding down the window, when you see her maybe you can find out why she didn't choose this option. Same way some cars have central lock and child locks, do they also have switches to wind up the windows centrally, from the drivers side? Who knows? huh

It's better to be one's house than an uncertain location. Granted that the only mistake the driver was to drive to his house, i don't think he thought of it like that. When you tell someone to get down from your car and the person refuses, you can as well drive the person to your destination which in this case is the driver''s house.

The crux of the matter is not even where he drove her to but the fact that she labelled him a rapist and kidnapper. These are very grave allegations and the video gave no inclination in support of the accusation.
Better, .... as in how? shocked When you tell someone to get down from your car, and he does not, you report the person to the nearest security post. By driving her to his house, he laid himself bare for any allegations that she threw at him! Is his house a police station, a detention centre or .... just what exactly? sad

No one looking at the sequence of events logically, will think he wants to rape her. But by taking her to a different destination against her will, anyone could interpret it as 'kidnapping,' even if that was not his intent! undecided

Even if you want to support this lady like binaries loyalist please do so with reasoning, I came to pick you up and I ask for your destination and you refuse to tell me, fine and good, I decide not to go again and ask you to come down. You refuse, I plead with you to come down that I want to go home and I have closed for the day, still you refuse to get down and go back inside.

Since have told you am heading home and you refuse to come down from the car after much plea, it simply means you want to form stubborn and follow me home just to play the victim card. At that moment I am not obliged to keep waiting for you to display your stupidity.

Am free to go to my house and once I reach there, if you like you come down and if you don't like you stay inside the car is non of my business, the only business I would have with you is if you destroy anything because the day is late already and I need to rest.
There is nothing in my post, to suggest that I support the lady. sad If you check my previous comments, all I said was that the only mistake the guy made, was in driving her to his house.

By enforcing his so-called 'freedom' to drive to his house, with her still inside his car, he simply played into her hands, or can't you see it? huh If he had switched off his engine at the pick-up point and sat down on his bonnet ignoring her, at the end of the day wouldn't she have come down? Even if it took a few hours? sad

Or if he had driven her to a well-lit public place (e.g. a police station, their estate's security gate with guards, or the emergency care unit of a public hospital, or a fuel station that was still in service etc.), wouldn't passers by or eye witnesses have been present, to intervene in their matter? At least then, it wouldn't have just been his word against hers'! By taking her to his house, he made a huge mistake and exposed himself to all the unsavoury allegations coming his way! shocked

Guy shut up joor.

Driver asked passenger to leave his car girl should have respected herself and left his car, i am assuming this girl planned to use the driver for rituals hence why she refused to leave his car.if not why not come down since you are still in the pickup location and wsit for another cab to arrive. Why would she want to wait inside the guys car?

Am start making calls in your dialect not even in ENGLISH dat gal was planning to use the GUY FOR RITUALS. And the case should be followed up seriously.
You see when people lack adequate info, in order to make valid points then they resort to insults, which is just what you have done.

While also waiting there on your bonnet, she is making a call, speaking in a different language you don't understand and also giving description of your location at that hour of the day, would you still be comfortable?

Also bear in mind that there have been stories of unerring drivers that have been killed and their cars snatched from them or must I remind you of the Mumia guy, who lost his life all because he was doing his job.

Answer my question, what will you? Still seat on your bonnet or go to somewhere safe?
Didn't the story say she was calling for another Taxify driver? And all Taxify cars have a tracker? No wahala. Haba...but my house isn't far, nah? I will stroll to my house, and leave her inside the car, only to return after 30 minutes. Before leaving, I will immobilise the car. Or drive to the main gate of the estate where security guards are located, and ask them to intervene!

Because who says that if you take her with you to your own location, "she could not make a different call, still speaking in a different language you don't understand and also give description of your new location at that hour of the day?"

This girls story does not add up one bit.

Abeg.....how many people know of central locks that would remain locked when the driver door gets opened?

Since when did they start making vehicles with central locks that stop you from opening doors on the inside. Except the child lock is on you should still be able to open the car.


Again, the guy steps out of the car and you reach for the keys.......I wonder why. If I was in danger I wouldn't be reaching for the keys. I'll open the damn door and take to my heels.

Again, except I already had an ulterior motive the last thing on my mind when in danger will be to start up my camera on my smartphone. It takes a very deliberate action to start recording a video. You need at least a minimum of 3 definite touches to start your camera and an extra 2 to switch to video mode and start recording. For a person who is really in panic mode, that will be too much to handle. This b.itch was calm, coordinated and very deliberate in her actions.

Here is what I think transpired. This girl did something to incur the wrath of this driver. This girl is one of those extreme cases where a driver picks up a bad passenger. She refused to get out of the car when the driver declined to do her bidding. Its very obvious from her statement in her video. She actually threatened him with the video.
Yes, there are "central locks that would remain locked when the driver door gets opened...and there are vehicles with central locks that stop you from opening doors on the inside." That is why, if the door eventually slams shut, while the engine is on and the keys are still in the ignition, the driver finds it difficult to get back inside the car, except he has a spare set of remote keys to unlock the door.

The Lady and the guy lives in the same Estate. He was in his house when he got a request for another ride. He drove over to her house (same estate) picked her up. He asked her where she was going, she told him to just go that she'll tell him on their way. The only reason she would say this was because he'll probably not agree to go to that destination ( maybe its far or a bad area. And we are talking 12 midnight) The guy know this too and still right in front of her house, told her he wasn't going anymore. She refuses to come down from the car. She tells him that she has to get another Taxify before she comes down. Again, considering the time and location, this might not be easily achieved. Guy gets tired and still insists that she gets down and she still refused. So he decided to drive home (Still in the same Estate).

You say he should have driven her to a police station but do you know how far the nearest one was and how inconveniencing it would be for him. Consider the time and the fuel scarcity)

Let's sometimes leave sentimentality out of it and deduce like rational beings. Which story honestly makes more sense to you?
Most estates usually have the following:
1). A security post at the entrance of the estate, manned by security guards;
2). A police post (not a station);
3). A clinic or hospital.

What is the purpose of driving her to his home? I still don't understand that.

And why would you as a driver take your customer to the middle of the road in the middle of the night and say you're not going again when you picked her up from the confines of her home/residence? Does that make any sense to you. If you don't want to go anymore, then take her back to where you picked her up from.
It's not rocket science, the safety of his customer whether she's a rude a$$hole or not should come first.
Thank you, o! shocked That is the only grouse I have with the driver. At last, someone has spelt it all out, with good sense. The driver could easily have made a U-turn, and taken her back to where he picked her.

The main question that should be asked is why he took her to a strange destination.
That's kidnapping. It doesn't matter if she didn't run out of the car (in a strange place in the dark), or she didnt scream long enough, or she was wearing clothes that exposed her body or whatever.
What was his intent? Who's house did he take her to? Was he planning to rape and kill her? Was he planning to use her for rituals?
Why did he take her to an unknown destination? That is an offence punishable by life in prison or even death if something had happened to her.
Good question! I love your sense of deduction. Especially when he could have driven her to a police station or a hospital, or any public place and asked others to intervene?? shocked cheesy
