On the Friday that just passed, I didn't have a dime on me and it was around 6pm so decided to take a drive to the ATM to make some withdrawals and do my TGIF routine. I got to New road in lekki, that's former Alfa beach road and a man in his 50s flagged me down. He had grey hair and looked like one of my dads friends. So I stopped and greeted him like I knew him because I thought he knew me and he looked responsible. He asked me to drop him in VGC ( Victoria Garden City), that his car broke down and pointed to his car which was a Mercedes-Benz G wagon. The car was parked opposite Ojumo market. My first instincts was how could a car like that break down suddenly because the car looked very new and second I thought why didn't he just use a cab but anyway I politely told him I wasn't going that direction and he said he wasn't asking me if I was going that way but asking for a favour that he had an important meeting and if I agreed to drop him, he would go to his car and pick up something and we can go. Again I politely said to him that I'm sorry, I have errands to run and he walked away. I went to the bank at chevron lekki, made my withdrawal but could see the car which was supposedly broken down from where I was because the bank if almost opposite the Ojomu market.

After making my cash redrawal, I went to buy petrol at Mobil and started heading back to my base which is.alpha beach and when I got to close to where this car was parked, I saw the break light come on and the car moved. So that means this man lied to me and had other motives. I don't know the motives but my mind says kidnapping things.

I like helping people and this man is someone I would have helped easily because VGC is no more than 10 mins drive from where I stay. But I thank God I did not because, I probably won't be here to tell the story.

Anyone who this happens to abeg don't fall for it, the man has some grey hair, wears glasses and can fool many people. This is December and people will do anything for money but they will not work for it.

May God keep us alive and give us wisdom to not fall for tricks like this.










Do not ever give rides to hitch hikers.. NEVER!

IF you are traveling across state lines, never stop to assess your car when people standing by the roadside keep pointing at your car like there is something wrong. Its a trick that they use to scam you out of your money or worse; ROB YOU.

@ManInTheMirror.
From your own narative, I can tell you no one wanted to kidnap you. That man most likely needed your help for real. Unfortunately, our barins have been warped up in Nigeria due to lack of trust among people.

Let me tell you; I was robbed on the expressway in 2008 early in the morning around 4.30am, and before the thieves got at me I ran across the other side of the road and there was this man with a peugeot car driving past. The man took a glance and saw what was happening and he knew I was being pursued by people. But when I waved him to stop and signaled help he wanted to carry me, stretched his hand to open the door for me but midway he hesitated and sped off. He wasn't just sure whether I genuinely needed help.
Alone, on the other side of the road the thieves ran over to get at me but I ran across the other side again. We did this for like 3 times until the thieves spread themselves on both sides of the road and blew me down and robbed me.

The point I want to make here is the driver that hesitated to carry me probably think I was one of the thieves. He will probably go home and start telling people how thieves wanted to trick him to stop on the expressway.

Note, it is a VERY BIG risk to give ANY stranger a lift because most people get killed or robbed. Never stop for anybody on highway or anywhere you get to and you are been flagged down for a ride or help or whatever, never fall for that. At times, when you notice a car run into you through the rear, never stop because you could be robbed. most robbers use same way to rob their victims.

Never give some ladies ride on highways because most of them are robbers and could ask you to stop that they are pressed and when you do that, their group will come down and rob or even kill you and go away with your car.

Op, you did the right thing.No matter the person's age, never stop. No responsible man can just be asking for a ride as he can afford to pick a drop if something wrong happened to his car.

Na wa for u sef. The OP did well to share dis eyes opening story. What do u think could be d motive of d man in d first place if nt bad motive? How can a car that said to have broken down within few minutes of the OP withdrawing money frm d ATM and turning back to where d car was parked d car had already started moving. Does that seems like a miracle or somtin? Make una shine una eyes o. Na chrismas season una dey so. People like u can easily be decieved no offence meant.

His car probably couldnt start and he needed to get home, I dont think its kidnapping I believe, because no one kidnaps at random someone whose relative cant bring up real good sum that can even buy a G-wagon. It actually happened in your imagination.

Guy shine ur eyes. The bad ones come in a sheep clothing. Shine ur eyes my guy. Be smart. Who zuor for dis Niger dem go do am strong thing. Most of those people are either 419, kidnappers, or arm robbers. And u forget say we dey Chrismas season. Abi u never hear say dem dey use people do ritualist alot dis kind season?

When I was small,I was playing infront of our house,a car parked,and a man inside the car told me to give him some water to drink.

As I went to get the water,my mum was miraculously seated in the kitchen,she asked who do I want to give the water,I told him a man inside a car,only God knows what told her to follow me to give the man the water,as the man saw my mum following me at back,he started the car,and drove off with speed..

Only God knows what would have happened,if my mum wasn't in the kitchen..

Things are happening..

Thats it...that was a ritualist. They normally kidnap little children to do ritual some years ago and it still happens til date. Some only touch they wil touch u ..d person wil just disappear wit d child. The wise ones will learn frm all these experiences

Abeg dnt answer miscreants else u become one (world war -Z tins)...besides,hw we nnot so sure this person sayinng ur dumb is not one of those people that tried to kidnap you sef? Anyways, nice on op for sharing this with us. Good bless u immensely,no knowledge is lost or wasted,also it's high time we use our only weapon (the internet) to fight back at the madness happening in our society. When we learn to use it well,we tell dose a-holes that we're at the top of the FOOD CHAIN, we're APEX PREDATORS and they (the would-be kidnappers,robbers,scammers etc) have become the prey. We can do this because we now know their M.O and deres nowhere to hide for them.....Please fellow NL's let's make use of this medium and share our experiences for others to learn from.....once again,good job op!

@op, you did the right thing o. In Niger state, a guy stopped, to pick an old man. Actually, the man demanded for money (20 bucks) as the guy stretched his hands, to give him the money, both of dem disappeared. He found himself in a ritualist den with other people. According to the guy, some rich alhaji's will come and select the ones they want (like a point and kill). To cut the story short, the butcher touched him, den he found himself in zaria. Some of u guys must have heard this story..
Moral of the story, one should be very careful wen helping a stranger.
