The conflict between actress Adunni Ade and Indrive cab driver Francis Njoku has intensified, with Njoku threatening to take legal action against her.
The issue began on September 18 when Adunni accused Njoku of taking her package and refusing to deliver it.
She took to her Instagram page to lament over her ordeal.
Adunni called him out on Instagram, sparking widespread attention and outrage.
In her post, Ade stated, “I have contacted you for hours but no response. One of your drivers has stolen my package.”
According to her, the driver called her after arriving at her estate, requesting an access code, which she promptly provided.
However, after nearly 30 minutes of waiting, the delivery had still not arrived. Ade reached out to the sender of the package, who claimed the item had already been delivered.
Upon confronting the driver, Ade was told that a wrong address had been inputted, a claim she refuted, explaining that the sender regularly delivers to her.
The situation escalated when the driver ended the trip without delivering the package and subsequently stopped responding to Ade’s calls.
The actress identified the driver as Francis Njoku, publicly sharing his phone number and urging her followers to tag InDrive, calling for accountability.
“Your driver ended my delivery and has run off with my package!!! Respond to your dm or we go the cr*zy route,” she warned.
After Indrive intervened, locking Njoku’s profile, the package was delivered later that night to the sender, according to Adunni.
However, the driver responded slamming Ade for damaging his reputation.
Njoku claimed Ade’s post smeared his name, stating, “You have made nonsense of my image and I have contacted my legal team and we’ll see you in court. You are not the person who requested the ride. Many human rights activists and lawyers have called me and think I won’t let it go that way. You must render an unreserved apology and ask Instablog to pull the post down.”
Ade responded, sharing screenshots of her interactions with Njoku and fashion designer.
She maintained her innocence, emphasising commitment to honesty.
Adunni wrote: “One thing about me is I do not lie nor cheat my fellow being. When we speak of change, let that change start with you! With the current economic state, everyone is doing what they can to stay afloat irrespective of your finances.
“Slide 1-3 the messages I got from Francis Njoku this morning from a different #
“Slide 4-7 shows when he called me, when I issued access code to gain entry and also when I called to ask of his whereabouts and also to ask why he ended the trip and recorded as delivered. He hung up on me which I called back to question why he would hang up on me. I specifically asked if I had treated him wrongly or spoken to him out of line to which he responded “because I’m telling you the sender imputed the wrong address and you don’t want to listen” I told him it would be difficult to believe him as I was a constant customer and she has sent my orders for years with no issues. I asked why he ended the trip as “delivered “ This was when all hell broke loose. He rambled some more, called me names, asked if I was feeding him? And also for me to come find him and collect the package in a sarcastic manner. I simply ended the call and contacted the designer.
“Slide 8-14 conversation between the designer and Francis Njoku after she learnt he never delivered to me but recorded the trip as delivered on his end. At some point he called to tell the sender she imputed the wrong address that I was at a different location. He requested she should add additional 1,500 before he would agree to complete the request but because she said she could only round up to 5k, he ended the trip and left with my package. Mind you, she truly thought the map took him elsewhere hence why she offered to round up.
“Slide 15-18 shows proof of conversation between @atuchewoman and her sister (she was the one who gave Francis the package from the warehouse) please note @atuchewoman was the one who ordered for @indrive.ng not her sister.
“Slide 19 is self explanatory.
In my whole adult life of ordering and delivering or using services of logistic companies, I have never encountered anyone as rude, uncivilized, ill-mannered, arrogant, entitled as Frances Njoku.”
