LAGride Driver Alleges Company Created ₦1.3 Million Debt

A driver for LAGride, a ride-hailing platform, has alleged that the company created a ₦1.3 million debt against him after he requested payment for outstanding earnings. In an interview shared via X (formerly Twitter) on Nigeria Info FM, the driver stated he had not received payment since October, despite generating an estimated ₦9 million in revenue over five months, averaging ₦1.8 million monthly.

He detailed how the alleged debt increased multiple times, starting from ₦375,000 to ₦1.3 million, with the last increment occurring during a live interview. The driver claimed he earned between ₦65,000 and ₦100,000 daily and had not defaulted on remittances.

LAGride's PR Director, Ifeanyi Abraham, responded that the company operates transparently and that the debt was not arbitrarily assigned, asserting that a full breakdown of the account is available through appropriate channels.
