Woman feigns madness to avoid paying taxi fare

A taxi driver on Wednesday lost the fare due him after his passenger pretended she was mentally impaired .

The taxi driver, simply identified as Attah , said the woman solicited his services to Accra – based radio station at Kokomlemle in Ghana.

Upon arrival , Attah said , the woman asked him to wait as she collected money from someone at Hitz FM.

But to the cab driver’ s dismay , the woman started acting strange, gesturing in a manner that suggested she was mentally impaired .

It was at this point that Attah took out a cane from his car ostensibly to teach the lady a lesson.

It took some staff of the radio station, who were present at the scene , to calm the situation and prevented matters from escalating .

The taxi driver urged cab drivers to pay attention and screen passengers both directly and indirectly should they ask for their services .
