InDrive Driver Denies Robbery Allegations, Says Passenger Misinterpreted Car Breakdown
James Oluwatosin, an InDrive driver, has come forward to refute claims that he was involved in a robbery attempt during a passenger ride.
The allegations started when X user @Big_Itohan shared a screenshot of James’ ID, warning others: “If you order a ride and you see him, please cancel. He’ll pretend something is wrong with his car and park so his gang can rob you. All of his door handles except the driver’s side are broken. I literally had to climb out through the driver’s side while he was pretending to fix the light and was on a call.”
Her post quickly went viral, receiving over 5.5 million views, and was widely circulated on WhatsApp, X, TikTok, and other social media platforms.
James addressed the claims in a video posted by @JustPaul332117 on X, insisting he was being falsely accused. He explained, “My car actually broke down, and some touts came to demand money from me. The lady got involved and started negotiating with the touts, and that’s when the misunderstanding happened.”
He emphasized that he had no intention of harming anyone, adding that the viral post misrepresented the incident.
