A Twitter user only identified as Ada Ugo has narrated her ordeal with a Bolt driver while returning from school on Friday.

Ugo said she had confirmed the number plate and the car type when the driver arrived but forgot to check the driver’s identity.

Some minutes into the drive, she asked the driver why his identity was different from what was on the app.

“He said he used his brother’s account and asked why I was questioning him,” Ugo said.

Subsequently, Ugo shared the ride’s details with her sister and a friend, narrating her experience.

While on the ride, she heard the driver say, “I’m on my way, wait, I’m coming. I got one”.

Ugo said the driver locked the door from his side, and then she began to panic. She texted her sister and friends as he could not answer their calls at that moment.

“I called my mum to inform her I was on my way, even though she knew and was expecting me,” she wrote.

When they got to Anthony, she told the driver she wanted to get something in Maryland so she could end the trip, but he refused and said he was not going to stop there.

“All this time, he was driving so fast. Then, I told him if he wasn’t going to stop at the mall, he should end the ride. He then asked, ‘Why you dey share ride?’ You be pikin?’ I just wanted to faint cos how did he know?”

She was scared and surprised he knew she was sharing the ride, as he was not looking into her phone.

When they got to the traffic light in Maryland, she told him to end the trip or she would break the window. The driver started calling her all sorts of names, said Ugo.

“The traffic started building up so he stopped at Leventis bus stop and ended the trip,” she said.

At press time, Bolt had not responded to an email sent to them.
