Nigerian taxi driver recounts terrifying encounter with passenger who violently assaulted him (Video).

A Nigerian man named Tizza shared a harrowing incident on social media where he was attacked and nearly killed by a passenger in Ibadan. 

According to Tizza's account, the incident occurred a few days ago when he accepted a ride request from the passenger. During the journey, a disagreement arose regarding the cost of the trip. 

Tizza tried to negotiate with the passenger, but instead of resolving the situation amicably, the passenger turned violent. Tizza pretended to faint in order to protect himself. After the assailant left, Tizza recorded a video showing his injuries. 

The passenger later sent money to Tizza's account, but blocked his calls. Tizza reported the incident to the police, who accompanied him to the assailant's residence, but initially found the gate locked.

Legal actions have been taken, and Tizza has sought assistance from Boltapp_ng and a lawyer named Barrister Kunle Ishola in addressing the situation.

The driver shared the below post on twitter..
