inDrive Permanently Bans Driver After Alleged Assault of Female Passenger Amina Usman

Ride-hailing platform inDrive has announced the permanent removal of one of its drivers following allegations that he assaulted a female passenger, Amina Usman, during a trip.

The company confirmed the decision in an official statement released after reviewing the incident, emphasizing that the safety of riders and drivers remains one of its core priorities.

Earlier, Eyes of Lagos reported Amina Usman’s emotional account of the incident. She alleged that she was assaulted and humiliated by the driver after a disagreement over an outstanding ₦600 fare balance.

The incident generated widespread reactions across social media, with many Nigerians calling for accountability and stronger safety measures on ride-hailing platforms.

Following its internal investigation, inDrive stated that the driver’s account has been permanently deactivated, preventing him from using the platform again.

The company reiterated that it maintains a strict policy against violence and misconduct involving anyone who uses its services.

According to the statement:

“We are deeply concerned by the incident involving a driver and passenger, Ms. Amina Usman. The safety and wellbeing of everyone who uses our platform is our highest priority, and we take reports of this nature very seriously. inDrive has zero tolerance for violence towards anyone using our platform.

inDrive also disclosed that it is prepared to cooperate fully with law enforcement authorities if requested.

The company stated that any relevant information required for official investigations would be made available in accordance with applicable laws and its privacy obligations.

It further encouraged riders and drivers to report safety-related concerns through the app’s Support and Safety Centre to enable prompt investigations.

“We encourage anyone who experiences an issue during a trip to report it through the in-app Support or Safety Centre so that we can investigate and take appropriate action in line with our policies.”

The company added that protecting the safety and trust of everyone on its platform remains a top priority and pledged to continue taking decisive action against users who violate its safety standards.

As conversations about passenger safety continue, inDrive reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a secure environment for both riders and drivers.

The company urged users to immediately report any suspicious behavior, threats, or safety concerns through its in-app reporting tools, saying swift reporting helps ensure appropriate action is taken.

The development comes amid growing public scrutiny of safety standards within Nigeria’s ride-hailing industry and renewed calls for stronger protections for passengers and drivers alike.

In as much as the man’s actions are beyond unacceptable, what could make a man hit a lady over 600 naira? The man’s side of the story should be heard too. You might imagine the kind of needle sharp words the lady might have used on him. In all, let’s be calm when we find ourselves in similar situations.

With the way you started this your narrative,it shows there's more to it,and even some people sees you and not supporting you might shows that you did more than you said. Anyways,I will advice you to not run your mouth with someone that can beat you ooo,instead,report him to rightful authority.

Good luck.

When you see yourself on social media because of one small quarrel you and her have and she describes you as Mike Tyson, please don't bother us on here....

Instead of you to ask yourself if you have ever seen a situation where grown men will support a stranger beating a woman you are there being mesmerised by beauty

even from the lady's account, you will know she deserves beating, most of them want to cheat drivers by not input correct address, the system charges per km, having arrived at location of the real address but still demanding to drive additional 5km without pay, we all know fuel prices is taking over 70% of the earnings and drivers keep complaining about all these persangers attitudes things to Indrive but they turn blind eyes to it until escalate to violence

To support you point, she said herself that even people passing by were talking against her. But she believe they were only being misogynistic.

I truly believe she has seriously distorted the real truth of what really happened.

And she’s crying as if the incident is happening as she speaks ! Did she has to cry to solidify her point?

Even though I think the man should have acted maturely and professionally, I still think this crying liar did not give the true explanation of what transpired.
