He’s accused of war crimes and torture, but within days of applying to be an Uber and Lyft driver, he was approved
Within a couple of days of applying to be a ride-share driver, Ali said he was approved to shuttle passengers from place to place. He's been doing it for more than 18 months, according to his Uber profile.When CNN reporters recently caught a ride from Ali, the former Somali military commander was listed on Uber's app as an"Uber Pro Diamond" driver with a 4.89 rating."I do this full time," said Ali, who drives in suburban Virginia.
Lyft said he hasn't given a ride on its platform since September 2018."The safety of our community is our top priority and we are horrified by the allegations described. Before giving a ride on the Lyft platform, all driver-applicants are screened for criminal offenses and driving incidents in the United States," the Lyft spokeswoman said.
