An Uber driver has been traced to his home after allegedly absconding with an iPhone 16 entrusted to him for delivery, following the cancellation of a trip midway in Lagos.
An X user, Ashake, who tweets as #Molayoo_, raised the alarm on Saturday, tagging Uber in her post with screenshots of the booking.
“Uber, one of your riders in Lagos, Nigeria, picked up a package(an iPhone 16) from Egbeda to be delivered to Ikeja, and he cancelled the ride midway, and he’s been unreachable ever since!
“His name is Augustine Adimabua. This is someone’s business, fgs! We need the package,” she wrote.
The situation escalated after the driver was reportedly tracked to his location.
Providing an update on Thursday, Ashake noted that the driver has been caught. She claimed that the driver sold the phone for N400,000.
“He has been caught and handed over to the right authorities. Thank you to every single one of you who made this possible.
“He sold iPhone 16 of over 1m, he sold it for 400k,” she wrote.
In the accompanying videos, the driver agreed that he collected the phone.
“I agree he gave me an iPhone 16, 256 GB, worth 1.2million naira”, he said
He, however, claimed that the phone had been stolen after being questioned about it.
“Where is the phone? Where is the iPhone 16?” one of the men queried.
“The phone was stolen”, he responded.
The confrontation quickly turned heated, with the driver being accused of dishonesty while appearing visibly uneasy, and a woman said to be his wife shocked by the situation.
The video has since gone viral, with individuals recalling personal experiences of stolen package deliveries and others condemning the act.
