It is not uncommon to hear
stories of people who are robbed on the roads of Lagos, especially when there
is traffic jam. Cunning individuals see the traffic as an opportunity to carry
out their negative plans.
A lady name Temitope Salami
has taken to social media to share her terrible experience with robbers who are
armed with a pistol at Apapa coming from Eko Bridge in Lagos.
According to her, it was a
miracle that she escaped.
A week ago, I started my
day in a good way, as usual, went to my Oga's office in Surulere to round up
preparations for the lunch meeting with the British High Commissioner. While I
was there, I engaged one of his employees on insurance for better understanding
because my Oga heads an insurance broking firm and I told him about my
insecurity with the 3rd party I did with the car and I requested him to give me
a quote for all kind of insurance ahead of when I'm financially
bouyant..lol..little did I know what the devil had in plans for a child of God.
After the nice time with
the High Commissioner, my friend and I left the venue around 6pm and as usual,
there was traffic but a moving one. I wanted to go through costain but it was
congested, so I went straight to pass stadium then GBAM traffic started at the
extension point of those coming from Apapa to link Eko Bridge.. then I saw a
bike man with a passenger by my extreme right and my thoughts immediately was
that they wanted to rob but then again I never thought they would come to me..
they approached the car I immediately, we rolled up then the banging started...
It was like a
movie..lol..one of the robbers started hitting the front passenger window to
break the glass but after 4 failed attempts, he decided to use his gun to break
it eventually...thank God the glass didn't enter our eyes o...then the
screaming and shouting started..help! Help! but as usual everyone to
himself...we were helpless and I remembered my sister experience so I decided
to hit the car in front of me but for where lol he didn't even come down to
check his car for any damage...as the traffic moved, they followed us..they
threatened to shoot if we didn't comply but God was with us, the courage wasn't
natural.
God bless you Bisola smart
somebody she had her Camera in the bag worth hundreds of thousands but they
were unable to rob us except for the charger that refused to drop when she
emptied her bag on the floor of the car...the guy pulled her by her dress but
yet she kept insisting we had nothing..at a point I opted to give them my small
phone she looked at me and said 'Cuties eru wa ko kin se eru ole' (our property
isn't for the thieves).. then another bike passed after about 4mins with 3 guys
on it and realized we were been robbed, they stopped the bike man so as to
rescue us and immediately the robbers saw them, they fled!
It was like a Nollywood
action movie lol...
They wanted to rob women
who struggle to make ends meet, they threatened to kill mothers to amazing
children, they harassed us, they frightened us, they broke the glass, they
injured us (through the broken glass), but in the end God pass devil..we
scaled, we conquered, we are blessed.'
