Upon arrival at the hospital, the passenger asked the driver to wait for a while, as he attends to a friend on admission. He added that on his return, he will send him to his final destination.

The driver became unconscious, some minutes later after taking the drink. He woke up and realized that his vehicle, a Chevrolet Aveo with registration number GE 9457-21 had been taken away.
