According to the driver, she ended up transferring N8,000 to the touts. He explained that after fixing his car, he eventually drove the lady and her friend to their destination.
The man added:
“I’m here to defend myself. All that is flying up and down is a lie and I’ve never engaged in such activity. What pained me most is that inDrive didn’t ask me deep questions.
“I didn’t even imagine that somebody reported that case and that’s why I just told them that car broke down, I fixed it and dropped them at their destination. The next thing, when I was hearing that thing was flying, just to go and log in into my app to complain, I saw that they have blocked me. How can they do that?”
