On her way to work, a woman was strong in her bid to escape from an alleged kidnapper. She reportedly jumped out of a moving Taxify cab to save herself.

She reportedly jumped out of the vehicle in a desperate attempt to avoid being captured.

A Twitter profile @iceoflife shared the experience in a tweet posted on the day of the incident.

Is Taxify really safe?

The kidnapping attempt on the woman has raised questions about safety when riding on the Taxify platform.

In some tweets, the issue of drivers showing up in vehicles different from what was displayed on the app appears to be a common occurrence.

I have reported several times that their drivers arrive for pick up in cars different from what is listed on the app but @Taxify_ng doesn't do anything about it.

The last one I reported was a different car and different driver, they requested for phone number, I gave them, only to be told the number I copied from their app is not registered with them. @Taxify_ng
