Uber driver threatens passenger with spiritual attack
A driver with private Taxi firm Uber has been arrested after sending threatening messages to a passenger.
The suspect identified as Abbas told his victim Monica that she has
three days to start experiencing his own type of punishment after she
had called back to cancel her booked trip, upon realising that the
driver was not conversant with the route to where she had intended to
go.
“Never think you are going to get it easy for making me drive here
and wasted fuel. I’m going to deal with you spiritually. I give you 3
days and you will learn from that,” one of the messages sent to Monica
by the driver read.
Confirming the development to StarrFMonline.com Wednesday, Monica said the driver kept calling to threaten her even after Uber had charged her for cancelling the trip.
“I knew they will charge me for cancelling the booking after 5
minutes so I was ready for that. But this driver then started calling me
and issuing out threats so I told my sister and then reported the
matter to the Agbogba police and subsequently he was arrested at the
Atomic junction.
“I cancelled the trip because I noticed he was not comfortable with
the google map and so he kept asking me many questions about where i was
going and the exact route to the place,” she recounted.
Meanwhile, the Uber Home office in Italy has called Monica to
apologise to her over the development. They have also urged her to
pursue the matter legally.
Uber has been operating in Ghana’s capital, Accra, since June 2016.
