A Nigerian man identified as Anyi Nine has taken to twitter to call out cab-haling service O-Ride after one of their drivers allegedly set up with armed robbers.
According to the man, he hailed the cab on the popular app, after an event, to his home in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos. But rather than the driver taking the usual route, he diverted through another route and ended the trip abruptly.
While Anyi was waiting for another cab, some unidentified men came and attacked him before dispossessing him of his phones and cash.
