Annabel Fred has called out friends using Uber to be very careful as she has faced the worst event in her life with her friend.
She wrote on her timeline;
"Sorry to bother you friends!! But I had to use a friends phone to share this!!! Yesterday I and my friend went to the shoprite to get somethings, when we finished, we came out and ordered for Uber' (it showed 10mins to arrive) so we waited for the Uber arrival.
"Finally a taxi (Acura MDX) stopped in front of us and then I asked if he was the Uber we ordered? Yes I am ma'. He said! Then we both entered and I asked him to start the trip he then said OK and he drive off.
"He drove for sometime and slowed down, when we asked why he slowed down, this car is having issue ma let me check' he said, (please my money is reading o I told him) sorry ma we not on surg, he replied, I then said OK o.
"As he stopped, another guy quickly entered the car then the driver doomed off immediately, sharply I even tried to open the door and run, but all to no avail, then I realised we were in big troubled, my friend started shouting and crying.
"Then one of the guys came to the back seat held her neck so hard that she couldn't even scream then they asked me to give them my phones, (I left my phones at home, I told them) the other guy used his gun to hit my eye (he brought out a small knife, pepperspray and small axe.
"He asked for the second time, where is your phone? I see 2 phone for your hand, were them dey? Then I have no choice than to give him my phones after seeing blood dropping, he started beating us and asked his friend to give him that handkachief (then the guy driving said his spirit doesn't want him to harm us ) but he should collect everything from us.
"So they collected the things we bought @ the shoprite, they took my friends phones and mine too. Her wrest watch, my neckchain, our hand bags, asked for our ATM cards and thank God none of us came out with it, they searched us and collected the cash we had on us.
"They even collected my friends ear rings, then dumped us on a lonely part. A good Samaritan gave us 1,500 to transport back home we told him what happened. I just had to share this so that we can be very careful this period.
"The mistake we made, was not calling the Uber number to confirm if truly if he was the person. I just want all of you thank God for me o. What if we were killed? Just few weeks to my service and this happened? 2 months to the end of 2017? Wetin our mama for do? Please guys, let's be careful bill!!! Thank you and God bless u. (For now I'd be offline).
