Uber Driver Who Stole Lady's Bag, Passport & N1m Arrested In Lagos

A first time visitor to Nigeria who was identified as Mongy Mathobela(Mo)  was left stranded recently after a Lagos Uber driver robbed her of over N1Million. The victim, a South African complained on her facebook and that led to the arrest of the Uber driver

This exactly what happened plus all the sms' he sent his victim...

''He was able to drive off with the bag because she was to pick up a document from one Yemi in bakare estate,agungi and head to South Africa .so as usual she went into the compound and asked him (driver )to give her few minutes.by the time they came out he was no where to be found and he sent her a text saying he drove off to the nearby mosque to pee and he was coming right back but that was the end of the show before they realized he was gone for good.

Mo has been using the guy since she travelled down to Nigeria and she's a very nice and generous lady.

She saw the guy as a young and cool guy and showed support to encourage his hustle. Mo would give this guy 50 percent of her fare.

"He drove me to balogun or was it ogba and in the process someone picked his iPhone 5 and I had to give him 75k to get a new phone but he didn't get an iPhone but at least he got a phone with an internet to sort his Uber directory and all" Mo said

"I gets him food at every outing and made him comfortable.so,it was after the story went viral that his neighbor on the mainland alerted me a particular address on the mainland. The neighbors alerted others to use cars to block the taxi so as for him not to be able to drive out because already he had packed his stuff".
