A lady has taken to social media to vent her frustration after a disturbing encounter with a Bolt driver who allegedly demanded extra money for fuel and pickup before attempting to intimidate her.
According to her account, she ordered a ride via the popular ride-hailing platform, Bolt. However, upon arrival, the driver insisted that she pay an additional amount for fuel and pickup, which she outrightly refused. This refusal seemingly enraged the driver, leading him to reach for a cutlass from his vehicle’s trunk.
Startled by his unexpected action, she confronted him and questioned why he had a cutlass in his possession. In response, he reportedly claimed that it was for “self-defense.”
Sensing danger, the lady immediately contacted a police officer she knew, causing the driver to hastily flee the scene before any confrontation could escalate.
She shared her experience on X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“I ordered a Bolt. The driver arrived and demanded extra for fuel and pickup. I refused and canceled the ride.”
“Suddenly, he grabbed a cutlass from his trunk. I asked, ‘What’s that for?’ He replied, ‘Self-defense.’ Against what? My refusal? I called a police friend; oga drove off. Sai.”
Following her revelation, concerned social media users flooded the comments section to share their opinions, express their outrage, and call for action against such incidents.
