The Adentan Circuit Court has ordered Bolt Holdings OU to pay GH₵1.9 million in compensatory damages to Justice Noah Adade, after he discovered his name and photo listed as the driver responding to his own ride request.
The case, presided over by Judge Sedinam Awo Kwadam, was heard on Wednesday, September 18, 2024.
The court was told that on August 1, 2022, Justice Adade ordered a Bolt ride and found his personal information being used to identify the driver.
When the ride arrived, it was driven by his employee, Peter Walker, who confessed to stealing Justice Adade’s identity and registering himself as a driver on the Bolt app.
