MTV Shuga actress, Dorcas Fapson who came under fire following her abduction accusation against a Taxify driver, Henry Nnaemeka, took to her Instagram handle to disclose that the man has been arrested after going on the run for days.

According to Dorcas Fapson, she remains a fighter, not a crier and will let the law take its rightful course.

”I remain a Fighter. Not a crier. I’d like to thank everyone that’s supported me, publicly and privately during this difficult time.. We can leave the social media war now & let the law take its rightful course.

Peace & love, D♥️.

We need a country where women are able to report and share their experiences of sexual harassment, assault, rape, molestation, violence etc without fear of being labelled a liar, thief, prostitute, attention seeker etc.

I stand for myself and ALL the women that have felt victimized or targeted for being a woman. There needs to be more safety measures put in place for women in Nigeria.”

Recall that the drama between the actress and the Taxify driver took another twist, after Chukwuemeka who was accused of attempted raped and kidnap by Fapson, dragged the Nollywood diva to court.

According to Taxify driver in the lawsuit, his bitter exchange with the actress started when Dorcas Fapson boarded his taxi, and didn’t disclose where she was going to.

However when he pointed that out to her, she got and refused to alight from his car when he politely asked her to.

Henry who is demanding an apology from Dorcas Fapson who he said defamed him with the publication which went viral, is also asking for a #5million compensation over the damage already done.

Also, Taxify released a statement indicating that they’re investigating the case, but the driver insisted that her side of the story was false.

Narrating what he alleges truly happened, the Taxify driver wrote;

”My name is Henry Nnaemeka and I’m neither a Rapist nor a Kidnapper. This is my Story.

I’m a taxify driver/ partner, on Thursday the 25th of January 2018 between the hours of 12midnight and 1am.

I was on my way home from work when I received a taxify rider request from a Ibarhim Eletu Way Which was coincidentally where I was at that time and also same estate I stay, I decided to take that last trip before I go home to rest.

On getting to the pick-up location To pick up the rider (Miss Shola Fapson) she got In my vehicle and just as I started the trip, I noticed there wasn’t a destination for the trip so I politely asked her for the destination to know where I’m going to and if it will be convenient for me at that time of the night but she refused to tell me and instead asked me to drive out that she will tell me later.

I politely refused and asked severally for the destination but she wouldn’t tell me rather she ordered me in a harsh tone to “Move this car”!

On hearing this, I was surprised why she would hold back her destination from me and also ordered me to move the car. It was at this point I told her I wasn’t going anymore, I ended the trip immediately and asked her to come down from the car since we were still at the pick-up location but to my Greatest surprise she refused to come down and then started making some phone calls in Yoruba Language to some people whom I didn’t know disclosing our location to them.

At this point, I got scared and was trying to be on the safe side so I drove the car to the front where the estate had a security light which was a few seconds from the pickup location. On getting to the safe place, I came down from the car and politely opened the door and gently asked her to come down from the car. She blatantly refused again and started with her phone calls again.

It was at this point I overheard her conversation on the phone saying she has my car keys and gave out location again to the unknown person at the other end of the phone, I felt really threatened at this point because I couldn’t understand why she would take my car keys and then disclose our location to people I didn’t know.

I had to struggle with her to get my car keys from her hands. It was in the process of struggling with her, she sprayed a chemical substance (pepper spray) in my eyes.

I succeeded in getting my keys from her but before I could struggle with my sight and call for help she took off and was nowhere to be found. Some concerned residents and my sisters who heard me shout and call for help came to my rescue.

It took me about 45 mins to regain my sight clearly and was taken to my apartment to get some rest only for me to wake up this morning and receive loads of phone calls from friends and family saying I’ve been labelled a KIDNAPPER AND RAPIST.

However, the issue has been reported to Taxify and the necessary steps have been taken as shown in their press release. I want to use this medium to thank you family and friends who stood with me in this bad time and also state that I respect women and I am totally against any form of abuse against women.
Thank you all.
