Meanwhile, the management of Bolt_Nigeria has taken to Twitter to react to the news.

We have received reports of riders getting multiple debit alerts.

We are working with our payment processors to investigate the causes of these debits.

Should you receive these debit alerts, please confirm against your bank statements to be sure actual sums were deducted.
