The disappearance of a “Keke driver” who allegedly stole goods valued at ₦90,000 has alarmed a Nigerian woman.
She claims that the driver failed to deliver the items to their destination and has not been found since the incident, which happened at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 24.
On social media, she shared her experience and explained that the missing items included frozen small chops that were ready to fry and cake-making tools worth ₦60,000 for ₦35,000.
The products were for a baker who had asked her to help in acquiring them.
The woman described how she had arranged for the baker and herself to meet in Berger halfway in order to make delivery easier.
But with the roads blocked and traffic heavy, she decided to give the package to a Keke driver who was going to Magodo Gate, where the baker was waiting.
She gave the baker delivery instructions and the tricycle’s front plate number, which she had taken a picture of before delivering the goods.
Once the agreed-upon delivery fee was collected, the driver pledged to deliver the package on time.
Unfortunately, she did not receive the package or the driver thirty minutes later, so the baker called to let her know.
Sensing a problem, the woman went back to Berger that evening and started looking for the driver. She stayed until after 11 p.m., but to no avail, checking each Keke Maruwa that went by.
In an attempt to retrieve the items, she went to the park chairman and gave him the license plate number.
Despite early attempts to identify another driver, it was determined that the real offender was wearing a red polo shirt on the day of the incident.
Throughout the Christmas and Boxing Day holidays, the woman persistently visited different parks and talked to ticketers as part of the search.
Eventually, she was told that the Keke might be coming from Ogba because tricycles from Ogba frequently pick up passengers heading to Isheri at night.
The woman, who is determined to get back the stolen goods, has asked the public to help identify the Keke with the given license plate number, especially those who travel the Ogba-Berger-Isheri-Magodo route.
Even though she wants to get back everything, she demands that if the driver has eaten the frozen little chops, she at least get back the cake-making supplies.
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.”
