By now you would have heard about the case of a Uber driver that was killed in Lagos. The popular story was that the killers requested for a Uber ride, overpowered the driver, killed him and dumped his body before going away with the Kia car. However, there is a twist to the story has Uber has said that it has nothing to do with the crime.
Here’s what a Uber spokesperson said:
“We are shocked and deeply saddened to learn of this tragic news. We are busy reaching out to offer our support to the driver’s family. Our thoughts and hearts go out to his family and we extend our sincerest condolences.
This is a senseless act and the guilty parties must be prosecuted – we are relieved to hear the suspects have been arrested. We will support the authorities in anyway possible to assist in their investigation.
We can confirm that the driver was registered to use the Uber app, but he was not using the app during the time of the incident, therefore we have no reason to believe that this crime is related to Uber in any way.”
