In a social media post, Ade detailed her experience, claiming that Njoku ended the trip early and refused to return or deliver the package.
She had provided an access code for him to enter her estate, but after 30 minutes of waiting without a delivery, Ade discovered that the package had not been delivered, despite confirmation from the sender, @atuchewoman.

Ade further alleged that Njoku became hostile and stopped responding to her calls.
She wrote on Instagram: ”@indrive.ng I have contacted you for hours but no response. One of your drivers has stolen my package.

“He ended the trip before getting to me and has refused to pick up. He called me to inform me he was at my estate and needed a code, I proceeded to send an access code.
“Almost 30 mins later, he still had not arrived so I contacted the sender via dm @atuchewoman who confirmed he had delivered.
“I Immediately informed her this wasn’t accurate and proceeded to call him back myself.

“He claimed she imputed a wrong address and I told him this is incorrect as she is someone who delivers to me on a regular.
“I asked why he ended the trip and all hell broke loose from there. He isn’t picking up anymore.
“Francis njoku is his name! 0905 740 2747bY’all please CALL THIS THIEF!!! Please tag @indrive.ng @indrive he has refused to deliver or return to the sender.
“@indrive.ng I have waited hours for you to respond! Your driver ended my delivery and has ran off with my package!!! Respond to your dm or we go the cr*zy route”.
However, after the social media call out, Adunni updated her fans that Francis finally returned her package to the sender after series of calls from unknown individuals online.
She wrote: “Update, Update! Francis Njoku turned a new leaf by changing his mind to return my stolen package to @atuchewoman. Thank you all for blowing up his phone!!.
@inDrive, do better!!”
Meanwhile, the situation intensified when Njoku threatened legal action against the actress, accusing her of damaging his reputation with her accusations.

- He demanded an apology and for the social media post to be retracted.
Njoku claimed Ade’s post smeared his name, stating, “You have made nonsense of my image and I have contacted my legal team and we’ll see you in court. You are not the person who requested the ride. Many human rights activists and lawyers have called me and think I won’t let it go that way. You must render an unreserved apology and ask Instablog to pull the post down.”
Ade responded, sharing screenshots of her interactions with Njoku and fashion designer.
She maintained her innocence, emphasising commitment to honesty.
Adunni wrote: “One thing about me is I do not lie nor cheat my fellow being. When we speak of change, let that change start with you! With the current economic state, everyone is doing what they can to stay afloat irrespective of your finances.
“Slide 1-3 the messages I got from Francis Njoku this morning from a different #
“Slide 4-7 shows when he called me, when I issued access code to gain entry and also when I called to ask of his whereabouts and also to ask why he ended the trip and recorded as delivered. He hung up on me which I called back to question why he would hang up on me. I specifically asked if I had treated him wrongly or spoken to him out of line to which he responded “because I’m telling you the sender imputed the wrong address and you don’t want to listen” I told him it would be difficult to believe him as I was a constant customer and she has sent my orders for years with no issues. I asked why he ended the trip as “delivered “ This was when all hell broke loose. He rambled some more, called me names, asked if I was feeding him? And also for me to come find him and collect the package in a sarcastic manner. I simply ended the call and contacted the designer.
“Slide 8-14 conversation between the designer and Francis Njoku after she learnt he never delivered to me but recorded the trip as delivered on his end. At some point he called to tell the sender she imputed the wrong address that I was at a different location. He requested she should add additional 1,500 before he would agree to complete the request but because she said she could only round up to 5k, he ended the trip and left with my package. Mind you, she truly thought the map took him elsewhere hence why she offered to round up.
“Slide 15-18 shows proof of conversation between @atuchewoman and her sister (she was the one who gave Francis the package from the warehouse) please note @atuchewoman was the one who ordered for @indrive.ng not hersister. “Slide 19 is self explanatory.
“In my whole adult life of ordering and delivering or using services of logistic companies, I have never encountered anyone as rude, uncivilized, ill-mannered, arrogant, entitled as Frances Njoku.”
