A Nigerian man has been
fatally stabbed inside his car in New York, USA on Saturday night. The Uber
driver, identified by the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers, as Ganiyu
Gandonu, 27, from Ogun State, was found bleeding from his neck and torso inside
his Toyota Camry around 9:10 p.m. along the Hutchinson River Parkway East in
Baychester, cops said.
Investigators are yet to
announce a motive or identify a suspect, but, on Sunday night, police released
new surveillance video of a person of interest wanted in the fatal stabbing.
Police said the video shows
a man dressed in all dark clothing. The suspect ran off from the scene. Ganiyu
was found stabbed in the neck and chest in his car. He later died at Jacobi
Medical Center.
“I know for sure that he
got no problem with anybody. He start this job. He worked. After work, he’s
home. He don’t go to parties, met friends, go to clubs, nothing, nothing
nothing,” said his widow, Latifat Alimi, said.
Alimi told The Post that
before the deceased left for work, he lamented, “I’m tired, but I have to go
and make money.”
The couple then talked
again by phone shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday, but the call was cut short when
Ganiyu picked up a fare, she said. “He said, ‘I’ll call you back. I have a
customer,’ ” said Alimi, 24.
He never called back.
