Atang, who cried uncontrollably along the popular Murtala Mohammed Way in Calabar, Cross River State, said he had left his company, Iwansco Drinks Distribution Company at Mbukpa axis of Calabar South with N180,000 which he intended to deposit in a bank on the road.
The man said he boarded a taxi from Calabar South to the highway, but after he disembarked, he decided to check the money only to discover a pile of papers in the bag.
He said:
“My name is Elder Godwin Atang and I work with Iwansco Drinks Distribution Company in Mbukpa. I had N180,000 which my director asked me to deposit at the bank here. The taxi driver who dropped me played a dirty trick on me by pretending to open the door for me only to touch me with his magic which has resulted in the whole money becoming papers in my hand.” The father of three said he had to take “a drop” to avoid either delay on the way or somebody sitting close to him.
He added:
“I sat with the driver in front and there was no other person with us since I decided to take a drop to avoid delay on the road or somebody tampering with the money. I did not know that I entered a cab with a ‘magical’ driver who would eventually rob me of the entire money.
“When we got to this place (opposite the bank), he pretended to open the door for me so that his hand could touch me. He said there was a problem with the door and he alone understood how to open it. I allowed him not knowing that he just wanted to touch me so that the money would disappear.
