Ghanaian influencer Scanty SZN has narrated how a driver he entrusted his trotro to operate — with the intention of making daily revenue — disappeared with the public service commercial vehicle, and never saw him again.

According to Scanty SZN, he and another associate of his scouted transportation of commuters streaming to and fro the Accra Central Business District as a viable business opportunity and hence channelled the necessary investment.

The driver, however, had other ideas and did not return on the very first day of work the trotro was handed over to him.

"Today is exactly 6 years since we gave a trotro to a driver to work and bring daily sales. He went to work the first day and vanished with everything. Neither the driver nor the car has been seen to date. He vanished with everything."

In a post on X, Scanty SZN indicated that they reported the matter of the missing driver and trotro at the Lakeside Police Station. Efforts to find the vehicle did not yield much, leading to them giving up on the search.

'The issue is still at Lakeside Police Station to date. All efforts proved futile, so we just gave up. Today, Snap reminded me with a video of us at the police station from 6years ago."

"My twin bro experienced a similar situation about 3 years ago. Ablekuma Trotro Station. I got mad respect for him cuz he moved on so simply."

"That’s why, if you’re handing over a trotro to someone, always go to the station union office and register it officially. They can also assign you a vetted, credible driver. That way, no one can just disappear with your vehicle."

@Thedeyder said:

"But if you get me a Vitz, I can work with it for you. I’m a UPSA student, though and also have a valid license if you don’t mind helping, boss."

"Did you sign a contract with the driver before you gave him the car to drive? Did he bring any of his relatives, a Ghana card, and did you take pictures or do a video of him? This is what you people forget to do. You should have done this after everything; you were supposed to go to the police."

"Most drivers in this country are not honest. Imagine giving out thirteen (13) cars to online drivers, and 11 of them disappoint you. Some of the drivers can hit a car and run away, leaving it there. Then the police will call you out of nowhere because of someone's mistake 😭."
