@Salihu what is your problem mr intelligent.
This is totally an allerged and fictional story. There is not enough evidence to prove this story is true. Where is the driver? Does the Uber company know anything about this issue and what steps have they taken. The Uber company is the first to take steps if anything of this kind had happened. Poor country. With this negations how do we develop?
JAIL him for LOOOOOOG time so that he will be an Old man by the time he comes back from prison!
