VIDEO: Woman fakes madness to evade payment of taxi fare

A Tabora-based taxi driver, who goes by the name Attah nearly flogged a woman who refused to pay him after patronising his services.

According to Attah, who spoke to Adomonline’s Gershon Mortey, the woman solicited his services to Accra-based radio station at Kokomlemle.

Upon arrival, Attah said the woman asked him to wait as she collects money from someone at Hitz FM.

But to the cab driver’s dismay, the woman started acting strange, gesturing in manner that suggested she was mentally impaired.

It was at this point that Attah took out a cane from his car ostensibly to teach the lady a lesson.

It took some staff of Multimedia who were present at the scene to calm the situation and prevent matters from escalating.

The taxi driver urged cab drivers to pay attention and screen passengers both directly and indirectly should they ask for their services.
