Dispatch rider threatens to sue actress, Adunni Ade over alleged defamation

• On September 18, Adunni accused Njoku of taking her package and refusing to deliver it.

• She publicly criticized him on Instagram, causing widespread attention and outrage.

• Adunni reported that the package was delivered to the sender after Indrive locked Njoku’s profile.

The dispute between actress Adunni Ade and Indrive dispatch rider Francis Njoku has escalated, with Njoku now threatening to pursue legal action against her.

The controversy originated on September 18, when Adunni accused Njoku of taking possession of her package and failing to deliver it.

She publicly addressed the issue on Instagram, which garnered significant attention and outrage from the public.

Following intervention from Indrive, which resulted in the suspension of Njoku’s profile, the package was eventually delivered to the sender later that evening, as reported by Adunni.

In response, Njoku criticized Ade for tarnishing his reputation.

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

Ade countered by sharing screenshots of her communications with Njoku and a fashion designer.

She reiterated her innocence, underscoring her dedication to transparency.

Adunni wrote: “One thing about me is I do not lie nor cheat my fellow being. When we speak of change, let that change start with you! With the current economic state, everyone is doing what they can to stay afloat irrespective of your finances.

“Slide 1-3 the messages I got from Francis Njoku this morning from a different #

“Slide 4-7 shows when he called me, when I issued access code to gain entry and also when I called to ask of his whereabouts and also to ask why he ended the trip and recorded as delivered. He hung up on me which I called back to question why he would hang up on me. I specifically asked if I had treated him wrongly or spoken to him out of line to which he responded “because I’m telling you the sender imputed the wrong address and you don’t want to listen” I told him it would be difficult to believe him as I was a constant customer and she has sent my orders for years with no issues. I asked why he ended the trip as “delivered “ This was when all hell broke loose. He rambled some more, called me names, asked if I was feeding him? And also for me to come find him and collect the package in a sarcastic manner. I simply ended the call and contacted the designer.
“Slide 8-14 conversation between the designer and Francis Njoku after she learnt he never delivered to me but recorded the trip as delivered on his end. At some point he called to tell the sender she imputed the wrong address that I was at a different location. He requested she should add additional 1,500 before he would agree to complete the request but because she said she could only round up to 5k, he ended the trip and left with my package. Mind you, she truly thought the map took him elsewhere hence why she offered to round up.

“Slide 15-18 shows proof of conversation between @atuchewoman and her sister (she was the one who gave Francis the package from the warehouse) please note @atuchewoman was the one who ordered for @indrive.ng not her sister.

“Slide 19 is self explanatory.

In my whole adult life of ordering and delivering or using services of logistic companies, I have never encountered anyone as rude, uncivilized, ill-mannered, arrogant, entitled as Frances Njoku.”
