The incident began on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. A 43-year-old Uber driver, Selasie Kwaku Anthonio, filed a complaint. He reported the matter to the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team.
The driver was concerned about a viral Snapchat post. This post included his photograph. It also contained information that the driver claims is untrue.
