For the Safety of My Family! Good evening, everyone, and to anyone who reads this. Something happened today, and the reason I’m making this post is that it happened at my home, where my family lives. It’s our house, and my family’s safety is paramount to me! Today, October 21, around 8pm, I had a back-and-forth with an @inDrive rider. Here’s what happened. I was at the Island, where I went to see my very good friend, who had lost his dad. I tried to use Bolt to book a ride, but it was busy. I don’t use inDrive, so my friend booked a ride for me. The inDrive fare was 25,100, and I accepted! MR. CHARLES ETIM BASSEY called me and asked where I was headed. I told him Ayobo. Then, in his words, MR. BASSEY said that if I was going with the AC on, I would pay 30,000, and if I was going without AC, we would stick with the 25,100. I said okay. When he arrived, he wanted to turn on the AC. I told him I didn’t need it because I wasn’t feeling well and would throw up. Plus, since it was already evening, I’d rather just use the natural air. THE AC WASN’T ON! My friend asked if I used the AC, and I said no, although there were the usual hold-ups, etc. I got home, and my friend, who had ordered the ride, sent 28,000 to account for the hold-up. MR. CHARLES ETIM BASSEY created a scene at my family’s house, and other landlords came out. He went ahead and took pictures of our house, sent them to a group chat, and said, in his words, “This is the house.” I picked up my phone, too, and took pictures of him and his car. He asked inDrive to provide the call recording, and I told him that if the recording contradicted my account, I would pay 32,000. He didn’t provide the recording and kept creating a scene. My friend called and explained the same thing to the other landlords. Why am I putting this out here? This is my family’s house, and their safety is paramount to me! IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY HOUSEHOLD OR OUR HOUSE, MR. CHARLES ETIM BASSEY, AN INDRIVE RIDER, SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE! This is his car and his picture. Thank you.
