Apaokagi Maryam, an Instagram comedienne and skit maker, popularly known as Taaoma has alleged that she was assaulted after she booked a Bolt ride Thursday.

The Instagram skit maker shared her ordeal on Twitter, narrating how the driver of a Bolt ride she had booked, threw a bottle at her because he wanted to change a trip booked online to an offline one.

Taooma alleged that she was assaulted at the airport car park for trying to record the heated argument going on between herself and her driver after he said he wouldn’t go on the trip if it was online and not offline and she had asked him why he accepted it in the first place.

She disclosed that other bolt drivers rained insults at her as the man threw a bottle which narrowly missed her. However, a few of the drivers at the park recognised her and moved to protect her from the assault.

I n a follow up tweet, the skit maker has revealed that Bolt reached out to her and has promised to act swiftly, she however apologized for generalizing the drivers, saying their are few bad eggs though. See tweet below…

Bolt just reached out and I’m happy quick action is being taken.
I apologize for generalizing all the drivers as that wasn’t how I meant it. There are always a few bad eggs.
Thank so you so much for showing concern and helping me “drop voice” from wherever you are 😅.
