Nollywood actress, Adunni Ade, has responded to a threat by an Indrive cab driver identified as Frances Njoku to sue her for defamation of character.

The disagreement between the duo stemmed from the driver’s alleged refusal to deliver the actress package after ending the trip.

Calling out the ride-hailing service in an Instagram post on Wednesday, Adunni claimed the driver took off with her package and refused to pick up calls.

“@indrive.ng I have contacted you for hours but no response. One of your drivers has stolen my package. He ended the trip before getting to me and not picking up calls.” she wrote. 

After the thespian’s post made the rounds on social media, it triggered condemnation with many netizens calling out the company.

In a follow up post, Adunni noted that Njoku delivered her package after the company locked his profile.

She also shared the screenshots of her conversations with Njoku and her fashion designer, who sent the package out.

In the screenshots shared by the actress, Njoku had tackled her for allegedly smearing his name and threatened to take the matter to court.

He insisted that the movie star must tender an unreserved apology and ask popular blogger, Instablog to pull down her post.

He wrote, “You have made nonsense of my image and I have contacted my legal team and we will see you in court. You are not the person that requested the ride. Many human rights lawyers and activists have called me and I won’t let it go that way. You must render an unreserved apology and ask Instablog to pull the post down.”

Reacting to the threat, Adunni said “One thing about me is I don’t lie nor cheat my fellow beings. When we speak of change, let it start with you. In my whole adult life of ordering and delivering or using services of logistic companies, I have never encountered anyone as rude, ill-mannered, arrogant, uncivilized and entitled as Francis Njoku.”
