Owners of Mr Taxi App, an internet enabled transport scheme, have disowned Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke, dismissing his claim of ownership of the company.
The firm’s Chief Operating Officer, Mr Austin Nnaemeka disowned the actor in a news conference to mark the inauguration of the company in Awka, Anambra State on Friday night.
At the conference, Nnaemeka described the controversial actor as an "impostor", noted that he had no contribution whatsoever in the setting up of the company.
Contrary to the claims of ownership of the company by the Nollywood star, Nnaemeka said Iyke was contracted as a brand ambassador of the company, though was relieved of his job after he started claiming ownership of the company.
He said:
"Jim Iyke is my friend, and I brought him in as a brand ambassador of the company, just like Rachael Okoli and other celebrities here, but he started asking questions that were out of his scope.
“He later started looking for a way to sway us into making him a shareholder, and then started parading himself as the owner of the company. He was warned once, and again, making it two times before we relieved him of his job.
“I am using the opportunity of this press conference to state emphatically that Mr Jim Iyke is not the owner of Mr Taxi, and has no contribution in the company, that is what I want to tell you today,” said Nnaemeka.
