MTV Shuga actress Dorcas Sola Fapson Yesterday accused a Taxify Driver of Kidnap and Assault and went on the social media with his photo to label him names......
In other to avoid the dangers of a single story,this is the version of the Taxi driver..
HIS VERSION
However, my name is Henry Nnaemeka and I’m neither a Rapist nor a Kidnapper. This is my Story.
I’m a taxify driver/ partner, on Thursday the 25th of January 2018 between the hours of 12midnight and 1am I was on my way home from work when I received a taxify rider request from a Ibarhim Eletu Way Which was coincidentally where I was at that time and also same estate I stay, I decided to take that last trip before I go home to rest.
On getting to the pick-up location To pick up the rider (Miss Shola Fapson) she got In my vehicle and just as I started the trip I noticed there wasn’t a destination for the trip so I politely asked her for the destination to know where I’m going to and if it will be convenient for me at that time of the night but she refused to tell me and instead asked me to drive out that she will tell me later, I politely refused and asked severally for the destination but she wouldn’t tell me rather she ordered me in a harsh tone to “Move this car”! On hearing this, I was surprised why she would hold back her destination from me and also ordered me to move the car.
It was at this point I told her I wasn’t going anymore, I ended the trip.
immediately and asked her to come down from the car since we were still at the pick-up location but to my Greatest surprise she refused to come down and then started making some phone calls in Yoruba Language to some people whom I didn’t know disclosing our location to them. At this point, I got scared and was trying to be on the safe side so I drove the car to the front where the estate had a security light which was a few seconds from the pickup location. On getting to the safe place, I came down from the car and politely opened the door and gently asked her to come down from the car.
She blatantly refused again and started with her phone calls again.
It was at this point I overheard her conversation on the phone saying she has my car keys and gave out location again to the unknown person at the other end of the phone, I felt really threatened at this point because I couldn’t understand why she would take my car keys and then disclose our location to people I didn’t know. I had to struggle with her to get my car keys from her hands. It was in the process of struggling with her, she sprayed a chemical substance (pepper spray) in my eyes.
I succeeded in getting my keys from her but before I could struggle with my sight and call for help she took off and was nowhere to be found. Some concerned residents and my sisters who heard me shout and call for help came to my rescue.
It took me about 45 mins to regain my sight clearly and was taken to my apartment to get some rest only for me to wake up this morning and receive loads of phone calls from friends and family saying I’ve been labelled a KIDNAPPER AND RAPIST. However, the issue has been reported to Taxify and the necessary steps have been taken as shown in their press release. I want to use this medium to thank you family and friends who stood with me in this bad time and also state that I respect women and I am totally against any form of abuse against women.
Thank you all''.

Thank you all''.

Meanwhile Taxify also released a press statement that the issue was being investigated.
Hmmmmm.....
I believe the driver's side of the story!
ReplyDeleteRape has been so bastardised by ladies,that they feel the only way to gain sympathy is by playing the rape card, mtsheeeeew 😎😎
Video is out oo.. lie lie guy said he drove her someone where.. where there was no light abi... and trying to open a gate.. babes dey try .. wetin una dey do outside late.. wit the video.. i am forced to blve the girl..the gurl was even fast enough.. she shd ve driven off.. wen brother came down to open gate... except the street is narrow
DeleteIf the video she has dsnt display him trying to undress her or sexually assaulting her then dont tag him a rapist....
DeleteIf the video dsnt reveal a threat to keepin her in his cars, mayb by locking the doors or preventing her from gettin freedom, then dont tag him a Adultnapper.
Yes i believe the driver! But how did your sister get there, seems the was in his vicinity.
ReplyDeleteUna dey try oooo to dey drive passengers until 12 midnight to 1.00 a.m.
ReplyDeleteAbeg where dem dey buy that pepper spray? I need one to put in my car.
May God help you to clear every accusations if you are indeed not guilty of what the lady said about you.
I dont trust anyone again oooo. I think i should wait for the findings from taxify and police people before i jumped into conclusion.
It is well with you all
U sound foolish, uber/taxify drivers works round d clock.
DeleteIn another news, even d bad pple will now go round wt pepper spray to look like a victim?
You can get it from these security agencies. Kings guard dem and co..
DeleteI never believed d lying bastard yesterday when he released his own version. Yes, I know some babes can be so difficult to these cab drivers but not in this case.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I must applaud this babe for acting to defend herself in that kind of tensed up situationship.👏👏👏👊 Real criminologist she is..
Guy did anyhow and must see anyhow mehn. Does uber still exist self? Thats how they ruin someones biz out of their selfish wicked interest.
Foolish judge! U dey their wen d incident happened?
DeleteNice one Sandy! How can she just frame him out of nowhere? He must have done something to her.
DeleteThank you ojare.
DeleteThank you ojare.
DeleteHmmm, this is dicey. Her word against his. I' would have believed the driver but him ending the trip is suspicious.
DeleteShes released Videos and explained further.
ReplyDeleteThe guy said he parked the car in a well lit security post in the Estate...but from the video this lady released, that place was dark and isolated.
What I think: She got scared and felt he was going to rape her or harm her,while the dude also felt she was calling unknown people to come beat him up or snatch the car that might not even be his.
With everything happening around us, I’d rather spray ya F.face when I feel threatened than chill to know what would happen to me so I don’t seem dramatic.
I feel both of them should be invited and the lady needs to remove that ‘Rapist,Kidnaper’ tag on the dude.
Immediately she said she couldn't go for a cash only trip, dude would have let her come down from the car immediately..The drama,struggle that ensued wasn't worth it. An Average Nigerian is quick tempered.
Btw, Now I remember where I know this girl from. Shuga. Shes pretty.
You're always speaking Sense.... I love You Iphie dearie, I'm sure you already know, it's just a reminder......
DeleteShe's a very brave person, recording and her voice was even a bit calm...... Na wa
Iphie, The guy was obviously lying. Why did d guy continue d trip na if he didnt have any ulterior motive na?? Hes a rapist abi kidnapper in d making and therefore got what he deserved.😑
DeleteMy question to u is, why will u pepper sprayed a man over an argument just becos u think its late & d place is isolated? What if he also choose to pepper sprayed her? What's she doing out by that time of d day in a place like lagos nigeria? *hanza*in jenifa's voice
DeleteShe can only remove the rapist tag from him if he didn't attempt such. Be sensible iphie, you have a daughter.
DeleteGod bless you iphie.
DeleteTaxify and Uber drivers are the same. Most of them usually prefer cash especially at night, I have had to cancel a trip more than once because after I got in the driver refused to continue because I wasn't paying cash.
DeleteI think they need to sensitize their drivers on that, you can't insist on a mode of payment for a customer when the platform has already provided the options.
If I pick card payment it's because that's what I prefer.
Anyway, in this case I wasn't there but the driver could have just packed and asked her to come down immediately she canceled the trip instead of driving her to an unknown destination, I would have panicked too. It was almost midnight according to the story.
I hear he has been taken off the platform and the authorities have been involved.
People claiming she is doing this for fame are the most annoying people, were you expecting him to own up to commuting a crime? Was he supposed to release a statement owning up?
Dorcas is popular in her own right and just because she doesn't act in every Nollywood Asaba movie doesn't make her less popular or someone with no rights.
Most of these drivers are rude and get easily upset especially when their rider is a woman. The one I took yesterday, took a wrong turn and said it was my fault meanwhile he was busy receiving calls while driving.
She has videos and even said she didn't post all of it because she intends to use it in court. Is not one of these drivers that touched a passengers nipper last year? Hian.
Please he said he parked the car where the estate has a security light not at a well lit security post.
DeleteA security light can't turn night into day. It's not just her camera light that made that video.
DeleteI'm not taking sides please
I love you too Cookie.
DeleteSandy, You know I tried to comment with the info both of them gave.. I really do not know who is lying here.. But one thing for sure is that the lady felt threatened and unsafe.
Anon 9:42 Yes Im going to empty a bottle of pepper spray on ya face if my cab isnt going the right direction.. I like feeling very safe. These situations make you work with your instinct.
Goodness, you see why my comment isn't for everybody. If you cant disagree with points and even be smart without being emotional, my comment isn't for people like you. Im sorry.
If you know my comments on this blog you would know that no rapist or attempted rapist should walk the face of this earth free.
From their stories, there was no indication of his intention. Will I type what I dont know?
Anon: The owner of the story said he drove to a part that had a securiry light and you are here twisting his own story to mean that the area wasnt well lit?
So what exactly made him allegedly go there if not for the light he said he saw? Okay
Ip,u made sense, d babe got scared, esp as it was already midnight. I await d investigation of taxify.
DeleteGod bless you too Cat eyes.
DeleteYou made valid points there Doppel..
The entire service provider industry needs to sensitize their employees on the need to constantly have their temper in check, keep their hands to themselves and be polite always.
Blessed😘
Trust me this cab man is a liarrrrr!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow can she frame the whole story up plus videos ???? Why will a sane person just decide to use pepper spray for no reason?
She can’t even speak Yoruba fluently so this his lie ehn.
Hmmmm
She's an angel? That makes her a saint! Allow court to decide, ur reasons are daft
DeleteAnon 9:13, calm down, let wait for taxify
DeleteShe released a video today... in as much as I don't want to judge, there seem to be some unanswered questions. And I wonder why she ddnt run when she had the opportunity to but rather chose to hold him down by ceasing his key....
ReplyDeleteWell, I pray an investigation is carried out while paying attention to every detail.
That said, this pepper spray idea isn't bad oh but most importantly, I pray never to be a victim oh cos it will be traumatic.
May justice prevail. Amen
Her screams sent chills down my body, My God!!!
DeleteNa wah oooo....Where was she coming from and who was chasing her?If what the driver said is true then that actress is very wicked. Na she cause wahala na she first come post for social media.Wetin she wan gain from it.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Everyone.
Where she's coming from us immaterial..... Make she no post abi??make she keep quiet yeah?? Na real wa......
DeleteThe rapist and kidnapper tag might be extreme but we didn't even really know his motive...... Why was he trynna drag her into that compound?? Since he said there's a security post, why didn't he just go and report her there?? The guy is a liar please.......
Fame!!!
DeleteTheir pepper spray business. Abeg who food, money and fuel to dash?
DeleteHow is dat business @Esther.
DeleteLabeling someone a rapist when its not the case is both a crime and a civil wrong. Mr Taxify, if your position is true, do not hesitate to sue her and recover for defamation. People should understand that social media is not a license to lie
ReplyDeleteI watched a video which she posted and the guy actually parked in a dark, rough road and came down to open a gate or so...... Meaning that part where he said he moved to a place that was lit is a total lie...... He was also trying to close the car door while she was inside and there was a struggle, pepper spray and screams from her.... She has video evidence, he needs to shut up or tell the truth!!!!
ReplyDeleteso someone who wants to kidnap and rape will allow you video the scene?, mtsheeeeew 😎
DeleteGbam.
DeleteAnd to think mothers are supporting the guy.
Cookie!!! In that video, there was no place that showed the guy opening a gate, no road showing so where you see rough road and gate?
DeleteThe guy said he lives around that area so I guess he went to park in front of his house.
The video is even edited. Why did they mute the part where the guy was talking?
If the guy wanted to rape/kidnap her, he won't leave his key in the ignition and come out.
Swag Lafresh, none of us was there but my dear I doubt you would feel safe if someone you don't know drives you to an unknown place. Let's assume the place he drove her to is his house, is that the destination she planned to go? Have they met prior to that?
DeleteI would panic too, Dorcas doesn't speak Yoruba or a fluent one at that to the best of my knowledge.
Were you people expecting him to release a statement agreeing with her? She said she'd take him to court, so let's wait and see how it ends.
All I know is that I have had a lot of experiences with these drivers and most of them are not alright.
Screenshots also show that she canceled the trip with him and requested for another one but he kept driving her to his house. Why did he do that? As far I'm concerned, she was rude to him and he wanted to get to his house so he can beat her up.
Lady bug, read the story again.
DeleteShe already canceled the trip with this guy and requested for another one which was on it's way to her but this guy kept driving.
Why drive to his house? Do they live together or was that the destination she told him she was going to?
She posted the screenshots of the canceled trip and new request.
Why would she randomly pick a fight with an unknown driver in the middle of the night.
For all those asking what she is looking for at night, shut your mouth. Lagos doesn't sleep and some people have jobs that make them work late else Uber and Taxify drivers wouldn't be working round the clock. In December, I had attended a lot of events that didn't end till 3/4am and I used Taxify.
Doppelganger he was scared! She kept making calls, he was worried! He already said he lives nearby, naturally he drove to a safe place, AFTER asking her to get down she refused. Rapist/kidnapper, so his sisters who came out to help him too are involved? What rapist will let you video & call & what not? When she had the chance, why didn't she run? Or scream for help, before that foolish "if you touch me, if you touch me"...
DeleteHonestly the story get k leg, but this babe, I smell a rat! And her video was all shades of cool & chatty & dapper, opposite to the experience she claimed! May God intervene o, something ain't adding up.
Dark rough road!! Which happens to be the street she got in the cab on. Suddenly she is attesting that the guy ended the trip after the guy gave that digital proof.
DeleteHaba. The guy has a right to refuse a ride if he finds the customer unruly or uncooperative. The boy is ibo and she was speaking yoruba.
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI'm not on anyone's side, the guy lied when he said he went to park at a security light, cos from the video, he parked in front of a gate and got down..... That part was a lie....
DeleteOfcourse she over exaggerated the situation and all, they are both wrong......
She was drunk.and wanted drama.shikenan.
ReplyDeleteShe was drunk.and wanted drama.shikenan.
ReplyDeleteWhere the bane dey go at 1am self??????? Ashieee moves
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:32, u r not serious, some peeps work late into d night, leave d issue of where she was going to n focus on d accusation.
DeleteRape is a very serious issue...one not to be tolerated in anyway or form. However,seeing the video she posted earlier,and the guys response to the allegation of rape and kidnapping ...I think this is definitely not a case of rape. I sincerely doubt a rapist will allow her make any recordings openly with her phone and not try to snatch it from her even before the scuffle and afterwards.
ReplyDeletethere are three sides to every accusation. I refuse to take side with either party. let God be the judge.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many unanswered questions here, why did she mute the guys part
ReplyDeleteCelebrities can lie for Africa
ReplyDeleteI don't believe the guy one bit, how come his sisters were miraculously at the incident place at that time of the hour if not that he had probably planned something sinister with them and they were waiting by the corner.
ReplyDelete2) she said drive and you came down and left your car keys in the ignition...No experienced Nigerian Driver leaves behind his car keys and so that thrash about her having his car keys is probably a lie.
3) she said drive and suddenly started making phone calls and giving out your location at 1 am in the morning and although YOU DIDN'T DRIVE yet she ended up in front of your house, oga taxi why are you lying like this
I know that he would put up a defense but his is some shit.
Taxify drivers are very I repeat very rude and saucy.
infact having used the platform a number of times I can say that the issue of wanting to rape her is not far from what they can do.
They always want to talk to you and if you don't answer most of them get insultive expecially in lagos when they feel you don't understand yoruba.
Plus they beg alot,always asking you to leave your change and they talk to you as if you are an olosho once you need their services after 10PM asking you how far and how market.
LEP😛
She confirmed she took his key na.
DeleteYour first question, he already said he lived around the area and wanted to do a last trip and go home until their issue started.
Delete2. She also confirmed she took his keys when he got down to open the gate. When he saw her with his keys, he kept back to her and that was when they started struggling
They are both lying
What happened was a case of misunderstanding. And both escalating a non issue
Lep, go n read again, olodo Ni e.
DeleteI'm a lady, if u re in real distress, how will u have time to record video? U will stay around to seize a man's car key who want to rape u or run & keep shouting help as u dey go? D supposed kidnapper no smash ur fone first b4 carrying out his act? This actress is a liar.... No rape or kidnapper case here. Both of them only had a fight, she defended herself wt d spray... Finish!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHelp me ask Oh!
DeleteHelp me ask.
Thank you.
In distress, every other thing is secondary. You run for your life. Not standing there arguing and seizing car key
They most likely had a disagreement, and she pepper sprayed him and now accusing him of other crimes just to show him she can really deal with him.
And again, what was she doing out there alone in such an ungodly hour?
Exactly.
DeleteFirst, a rapist or kidnapper won't even allow you video him knowingly . When he knows it could go online. He would have collected the phones..
Then the time she had to remove his keys could have been used to run away you know. Or come down from the car screaming
Abi o, d recorded video get as e be.
DeleteFinally, a group of people thinking right
Delete👍👍👍👍
DeleteThere are three side of every story
ReplyDeleteThe accused side,the victim side and the truth. Only God knows what transpired between them that night.
I read this account and almost believed this man until I watched the video. Thank God for the video evidence. Arrest him already.
ReplyDeleteWhat video?? The video that was edited favour her??
DeleteDidn't you see she muted where the guy was talking and her own voice was not muted?? Why did she mute him.
It sounded to me like he was screaming for help after the pepper spray.
The video even made the case worse for her
DeleteI think both of them wanted to deal with each other in their own way. But I hate it when men bring that I-will-deal-with-you attitude cos he is quarreling with a female.
DeleteHe shouldn't have struggled and pulled when she grabbed the keys.
Initially, I didn't think about why she muted the guy's part in the video. Guess I got emotional.
DeleteWho will be in danger and be relaxed making videos instead of running for your life at the slightest opportunity.
That video was recorded in a lit place (not brightly lit).
The guy is neither a rapist nor a kidnapper but he dealt with a stubborn dramatic customer without much tact.
He shouldn't have touched her. That's assault.
He should have waited for people to come as witnesses or record her wahala. Well, guess he acted in frustration after a hard day.
Dorcas Shola Fapson, you issa drama queen.
Exactly Eka, it made her case worse.......
DeleteI really want to believe this guy, but I dont even know, too much evil. Anyawyz I pray justice prevail
ReplyDeleteThis story ehnn?
ReplyDeleteI don't even know who to believe.
But my mind tells me the girl is lying. Her explanatory video recording was filled with manipulation, threats and curses.
Hmm!
Thank you!,the moment some people hear rape,they end the case without any further hearing from the guy.
DeleteThe funny thing is I believe more of the guys story to the girls story. I have read their post and seen all the videos. And no where did it seem like he was going to rape her
DeleteWhat happened was a misunderstanding. The guy was scared she was calling people to either come and Rob him or anything and he drove off the location they were in. The girl on he town part became scared of him driving her else where and this happened
As in ehnn...
Delete@ladybug, my annoyance is even with the manipulative curses at the end of her video...like if you don't believe her this and that would happen to you.
Hello! hello!! aunty, must everybody believe your story???
The girl is a manipulator.
She is pretty and is trying to use that to her advantage knowing a lot of people can get very sentimental.
Everybody must/should take sides with a pretty girl with an accent over a hustling Taxify driver. Damburuba shege🤣
...forgetting that the Taxify driver is someone's son too. If he is the one with the truth version, this is how this sisi will dent his image for life just because she wants to prove a point. Namsense
Exactly.
DeleteInasmuch as i don't believe the guy's side of the story because of the video, where on earth could she be going to at that time of the night...
ReplyDeleteSome facts y'all should know pertaining what happened:
ReplyDelete1. She didn't put her destination! You can order a Taxify without including your destination
2. As the intelligent ones have stated above, you can't be a rapist or a kidnapper and allow your victim record you!
3. The driver cancelled the trip and said he wasn't going again! The lady insisted she wasn't going to come out of the car, and the driver stays around the area, ehen since its late I will kukuma drive you to my house and come down and sleep NA!
4. Why did she mute some parts??
5. Why didn't she release all the videos??
Y'all should reason deep into this matter! My take is she shouldn't have labeled the guy a Rapist or Kidnapper! Those are very, very strong allegations!
Kelvin Dat Edo Boi (Stellz Cousin)
Very strong allegations. There was definitely an altercation that resulted in struggles and all. But with what two of them released, I doubt he was going to kidnap nor rape her.
DeleteIn her video, I can’t remember her mentioning the rapist thing again, I guess shes calmed down to reflect.
Exactly.
DeleteThis is what happened. The girl wanted the taxi driver to wait with her until her order ride comes but he refused and wanted to go home. Since she wasn't coming down, he decided to drive e
Going on to call some one a rapist and a kidnapper is not something she should have done.
Note to all taxify and Uber drivers, invest in a dash camera. Situations like this will make you thank God for such investment. This reminds me of the case of the girl that accused an Uber driver of rape because he didnt give her phone charger. His dash cam proved the girl was a liar.
DeleteYou are being kidnapped, you still had the time to record a video in a very calm mocking voice. He opened the door,came down to open the gate, instead of you to seize the key and central lock yourself inside the car or even flee you took the key, left the door opening waited for the driver to attack you. Why did she mute the video when the driver was talking? Make Una leave story Abeg, when a human faces a threat to life, adrenaline(survival instincts) kick in. You will do anything immediately to escape and not wait till u get to a dark road
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts: she requested the cab. Driver ended trip because she refuse to disclose her destination, she requested another cab and wouldn't get out of the car because she wanted the other one to arrive first. Driver didn't care and he drove home and tried to force her out of the car. All hell broke loose and pepper spray entered the matter. End of story.
ReplyDeleteMadam should remove the rape tag sha
She's just a liar seeking attention!
ReplyDeleteHaving gone thru all the details, I'll tell you that things just blew out of proportion.
ReplyDelete1. They ended the trip and she ordered for another one. He asked her to come down so she can go but she refused. I'm sure she wanted the next taxify to come before she can come down. She wanted the other one to wait until the other taxify comes seeing it was dark
2. He didn't want to wait, so he asked her to come down which she refused. She started making calls, he got scared when he heard location being giving out. He decided to drive out of that location to his place since he stayed close.
And then the misunderstanding began. Going forward to label him a rapist, kidnapper is harsh. But she did it seeing people will fall for it. Knowing women will fight with her. That is wrong
👍👍
DeleteYour sense is from heaven! Thank you for this truth.
Delete😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
DeleteRape n kidnap victim still had time to record,make calls,snatch keys? When she could've been running n screaming n flinging away shoes n bag? You won't even remember pepper spray when a real rapist face you, they would lock d car, beat u,smash ur phone n rape u...let them investigate both of them well.
ReplyDeleteLair lair boxers on fire
ReplyDeleteOnly God knows the truth tho
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what to say #isstandwithher but saw many pieces doesn't make sense in both accounts, could it be a case of misunderstanding and misinterpreting each others motives.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your business with where she is going to at this time of the night?
ReplyDeleteAre you her parent?
Did she beg you for her transport fare?
This is why most of you are where you are in your lives, because you've spent your life majoring in the minor and vice versa and have only dust for change to show for it.
Focus on the issue at the stake.
Did it happen?
If it did, how can we ensure it doesn't happen again.
Dis gal is clearly a drama queen which time did she have to video d incident does she know wat rape is I don't think so
ReplyDeleteShe seem prepared for the incident with her video and pepper spray.
