Jim Iyke (pictured middle) was fired as a brand ambassador of Mr Taxi after he started parading himself as the owner.

Nigerian star actor, Jim Iyke has been fired as a brand ambassador for a newly launched taxi company, Mr. Taxi.

The taxi company will begin operations in the South-Eastern states of Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia, and Ebonyi respectively.

The actor has been disgraced by the owner and Chief Operating Officer, Mr Austin Nnaemeka. During a press conference, Mr Nnaemeka said Jim Iyke was only contracted as a brand ambassador of the company but was relieved of his job after he started claiming ownership of the company.

 “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" he said.
