A dispute has erupted between Nigerian and South African users of ride-hailing apps, following an incident where a Nigerian Bolt rider was deceived and left stranded.
In response, Nigerian users have launched a counterattack, targeting South African Uber drivers with fake ride requests and cancellations.
The retaliatory actions have caused disruptions to ride-hailing services, leaving drivers stranded and without clear routes.
The situation highlights the potential for user conflicts to impact the functionality of ride-hailing platforms.
The initial incident has sparked a wave of recriminations, with users from both countries engaging in a cycle of retaliation.
The ride-hailing companies will need to address the issue to restore normal services and prevent further disruptions.
