Uber driver allegedly breaks passenger's phone, threatens to beat her in Lagos

An Uber driver has been called out by his passenger’s friend who claimed the driver broke his friend’s phone in an attempt to beat her.

He said trouble started when the driver asked the passenger to convert the trip to “off book” and the proposal was rejected.

“During the trip, he then requests that the trip be made ‘off book’ and she was to pay N10, 000. My friend objected to this and then he got angry. He started screaming that he had no time to waste and that she was wasting time. He then grabbed her phone and her bag and tried to punch her,” Femi Famutimi who narrated the incident on Facebook said.

He said the passenger got her damaged phone back and escaped after the intervention of passersby.
