How A Benin Woman Disarmed An Armed Robber by oba2flex(m): 7:34pm On Oct 24, 2015
A brave woman in Benin has assisted
policemen attached to the Oba police station
in Benin City, Edo state, to arrest five
suspected armed robbers after she over-
powered an attempt by one the suspects to
rob her.
It was learnt that the suspects were arrested
after a member of their gang simply identified
as Stanley, who claimed an Isoko man from
Delta state attempted to rob a woman with a
locally made pistol at Ire Street.
Luck however ran out on the suspected armed
robber when the newscaster (name withheld)
over powered the suspect and raised alarm
which drew the attention of residents to her
rescue.
It was learnt that the residents subsequently apprehended the armed robber and beat him up to a pulp before he was handed over to the police.
Following the suspect’s confession, the police
began a manhunt for other members his gang
and five of them were arrested while the leader
of the gang is still at large.
Narrating how the suspected armed robber
attempted to rob her, the newscaster who
requested anonymity said she was caught
unawares but she summoned courage and
wrestled the gun from the armed robber before
shouting for help.
She said: “I came to Benin from Lagos to attend
a wedding and on Monday morning, I decided
to go back. I woke up that fateful day and had
my bath about5am. I wanted to hit the road on
time so I can arrive early for my work.
“At about 5:30am, I came out to where I parked
my car so I can clean the car, but as I was
cleaning, I heard someone telling me to keep
quiet. He has been hiding behind my car all this
while waiting and he came out with a gun.
“He pointed the gun to my waist and whispered
to me to take him inside the house and give him
money. I started begging him that I will give him
money. I also appealed to him that my sister
whom I lodged with is heavily pregnant and
may go into force labour if she sees the gun. He
was not interested in my plea and he held the
gun tightly to my waist.
“As we got close to the entrance of the sitting
room where my bag was, I summoned courage
and screamed Jesus!; at that moment, I don’t
know what came over me and I turned round
and grabbed the gun but he held tight to it. I
struggled with him and turned the gun to his
chest. He bit me and I bit him in return.
“I wrestled with him and we landed back at the
point we started from my car. I screamed and
started calling for help. My brother in-law ran
out and held him and kicked the armed robber
until he fell flat on his face."

Its either d gun wasn't loaded or d robber didn't plan to kill. She took a very big risk and I wouldn't advise anyone to try such.Read this:

I was awaken by a sound of a gun at 4:20am. I jumped off my bed,remained still and was praying silently dat it shouldn't hv come from my house.Suddenly,I heard someone shouting from d next house. "He has killed my brother". We rushed there and met a final year student lying dead with his nose completely blown off. His younger bro narrated dat a robber came to rob them of their phones.The deceased pounced on d robber,trying to disarm him and d robber quickly pulled d trigger blowing off his nose.
Painful thing be say, d robber still go with all their phones.
