A dispute has occurred between Nigerian actress Adunni Ade and Indrive cab driver Frances Njoku over a package delivery issue, with the driver threatening legal action against the actress.
The issue began on September 18, 2024, when Adunni Ade took to Instagram to accuse Njoku of taking off with her package and ignoring her calls. Her post gained significant attention, prompting her followers to join in calling out Indrive.
Later that night, Adunni Ade announced that Njoku had delivered the package after Indrive locked his profile. However, the issue escalated when Adunni Ade shared screenshots of her interactions with Njoku and her fashion designer, who had sent the package.
The screenshots revealed an angry Njoku slamming the actress for damaging his reputation and threatening legal action. He wrote, “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.”
In response, Adunni Ade explained the context of the screenshots and maintained that Njoku was at fault. She 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.”
Adunni Ade concluded, “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.”
The dispute has sparked a heated debate on social media. The outcome of Njoku’s threatened legal action remains to be seen.
