A Nigerian lady has raised an alarm over a missing 'Keke driver' who allegedly absconded with goods worth ₦90,000.
According to her, the driver failed to deliver the items to their intended destination and has remained untraceable since the incident occurred on Tuesday, December 24, at around 7:30 p.m.
Sharing her ordeal on social media, she explained that the missing items included cake-making tools worth ₦60,000 and ready-to-fry frozen small chops valued at ₦35,000.
The goods were intended for a baker who had requested her assistance in procuring them.
The lady recounted how she had coordinated with the baker to meet halfway at Berger to facilitate delivery.
However, due to blocked roads and heavy traffic, she opted to hand the package over to a Keke driver heading towards Magodo Gate, where the baker was waiting.
Before handing over the goods, she snapped the front plate number of the tricycle and shared it with the baker, along with instructions for the delivery.
The driver, after collecting the agreed delivery fee, promised to deliver the package promptly.
Unfortunately, 30 minutes later, the baker called to inform her that neither the driver nor the package had arrived.
Realizing something was amiss, the lady returned to Berger that night and began searching for the driver. She stayed until past 11 p.m., checking every Keke Maruwa that passed by but to no avail.
In her bid to recover the goods, she approached the park chairman and shared the plate number.
Although initial efforts led to the identification of a different driver, it was confirmed that the actual culprit wore a red polo shirt on the day of the incident.
The search continued over the Christmas and Boxing Day holidays, with the lady tirelessly visiting various parks and speaking with ticketers.
She was eventually informed that the Keke might be operating from Ogba, as Ogba-based tricycles often load Isheri-bound passengers at night.
Determined to recover the stolen items, the lady has called on the public, especially those plying the Ogba-Berger-Isheri-Magodo route, to help identify the Keke with the specified plate number.
While she hopes to recover all the goods, she insists on at least retrieving the cake-making tools if the driver has consumed the frozen small chops.
FULL STATEMENT:
"Pls if you ply ogba- Berger- isheri- magodo pls help me look out for this Keke and plate number. He carried goods worth 90k and ran away. He never delivered it. I've spoken with their park chairman, I've been restless for 4 days. Since 7:30pm on Tuesday 24th."
"Little backstory, I help bakers buy cake stuff. So I went to ojota earlier to get cake stuff for a baker worth 60k. Then she asked me to add ready to fry frozen Smallchops worth 35k."
"I did that and she kept looking for dispatch but she did not see. So I told her let's meet At Berger so it will be easier for the dispatch in case they didn't want to come to Berger."
"I went out to buy more prawns for my prawn in mayo and bama mayonnaise from jendol in Berger. By the time I came back, I had too much stuff already and the Smallchops and cake stuff was Still with me."
"Carrying everything on bike wasn't even an option because the roads were also blocked and my Keke man said he could not enter the traffic. It's just a waste of fuel. So I told the baker that I'd help her send it through Keke to magodo gate."
"And she will pick from The gate. So I left my stuff at a customers shop in Berger bus stop and quickly went to give Keke going to magodo. I saw one Alfa and he said his Keke is full I should give the next one."
"The next one that came was this unfortunate Keke man. We talked to the security in front of Him and told him who to give the package to since that's how usual route. He said the receiver should go and wait for him at the gate that he cannot wait."
"The woman said she's at the gate already cos her house is close to the gate. He said ok, took the package, collected fee for Delivery from me and left. Before he left, I had snapped his front plate. I didn't really get his face or the full picture of the Keke."
"I sent it to the woman that that's the Keke she should look out for. 30 mins passes and she called that NOONE had called her and she hadn't set Eyes on that keke plate number."
"At around 8, I went back there, the Alfa I was initially meant to give said he had done 2 trips after when I last saw him so I should wait, the man will come back."
"I stayed till past 11 checking all the number plates of the Keke Maruwa going and Coming. He never came back and he also never got to magodo gate. He just carried everything and ran."
"I gave the chairman the plate that night. The one they knew as 638 was a man called baba kasali . They thought it was him and they held him but I said it wasn't him/ he wasn't Wearing Ankara. He wore a red polo shirt that day not Ankara. If I see him, I recognize him but that's it. All I have is the number plates. On Christmas Day I was there. Boxing Day, I was there. Even yesterday."
"I was directed to the ticketer. He said the chairman has informed him But they have not seen that Keke. Means that it's from ogba. Because ogba Keke loads isheri at night time there."
"So I'm going to ogba park now to meet the ticketers there. I just want to find this stuff even if he has eaten the Smallchops. He should sha give me the cake tools."
