A www.metronaija.com reader tells another horrifying story of a robbery attack in Lagos traffic..

A friend was robbed this morning at about 5.45am or so, just by Muson Center as she made her way to turn under the bridge towards Victoria Island, 2 boys walked up to her and without asking any questions, they just smashed the 2 side windows (passenger's side) of her Toyota Corolla and made away with her handbag which contained her valuables. According to her, they robbed another lady beside her just about the same time she was attacked. She was shaken, and I could understand her fears.

My worry about her (and other victims, particularly the ladies) is not the loss of valuables or damage to their vehicles, but the damage to them psychologically, where they now drive to work with so much fear and trepidation whenever they have to slow down either at a traffic light or to make way for another vehicle to pass. And you know what, they'll leave with that fear for a long time because they need to be at work early, and the Employer isn't going to understand that they had to wait for daylight before setting out to work.

I imagine my young friend driving to work tomorrow morning (on her way from the mainland), and having to pass by her regular route; she'd probably freak out whenever she sees any male walk by or towards her regardless of his intentions. This menace is causing damage that will require time to heal, and I say its totally unnecessary. If we know the dark spots and have been reporting on same, then why cant the authorities ensure that such areas are properly manned during peak traffic hours? I just don't get it!

Beyond rhetoric, here's an appeal from a concerned Lagosian to the Government to really act now and restore our confidence in their ability to secure us, because from where I stand, it may make a lot of sense to get armed (I mean with a Gun, not a knife please!) so that if ever you get robbed in traffic and the guy is walking away, you probably take out your piece from your glove compartment or under your seat and plant a few pellets into his fleeing backside to serve as a deterrent to others with similar tendencies. Selah!

By the way, my friend was thankfully unharmed

This is bad.

From what i have been reading online, i think robbery in Lagos has gone high for sometime now. The Government should please look into this menace.

Very pathetic situation

Sorry about the loss...
In as much as i'm not in support of theft, I believe anyone who leaves home pretty early should prepare for this. Once u get into your car, all ur valuables should be kept hidden and leave one or two unimportant things at their disposal. I have a samsung Note 2 I rarely use but it's in my car, I have decided to sacrifice it should it occur (I reject it though) and a superiority wrist watch.
Always prepare for the raining day.

While Lagosians are being robbed daily especially on the road, Ambode is yet to realize that he's the governor of Lagos.

Oh! I miss Fashola's government!

Why can't Ambo blame Buhari? I thought Fash was fond of blaming Jonathan.

Women should stop leaving home before daybreak or late into the nights.

haba Tonye at no point did Fashola blamed Gej for traffic robberies oooooooo, our new Governor wanted to be a populist Governor that's why he relaxed lastma mode of operations,whivh has in turn back fired,issuing just ticket alone to traffic offenders will not deter an average Lagosian especially Danfo drivers,they are the major cause of the traffic couple with pot holes around major roads.

Not when they have a job to keep.

Now.... No blame's pushed to the government.... They writer's only concern about the effect on the victim... Nobody is talking about the way out....

I tot the governor had purchase more cctv cameras to be wired across lagos to reduce traffic robbery... Or was this some lies that we've always been fed with?


Well... I'm blaming Buhari for all the misfortunes that have befall the citizens ever since he became the president!

masseratti:

RichDad1:

No, but the life is more important than keeping a job that exposes you to danger at such hours of the day.

Unfortunately, that's the harsh reality we have to face. Except, the husband is making a reasonable amount to sustain the family.

5.45 am........hmmmmmm.what women go through to keep their homes .

hmmn.. dis insecurity issue is getting more serious by d day in lagos..
Ambode,i av nt seen ur handwork o..

BTW,Listen to my songs at http://my.notjustok.com/p/oracle/

what exactly is the governor doing?
oh i forgot.social networking.

Astonvanquish:
I really love your opinion, beside that we can avoid picking up calls when driving especially ladies,whatever it is it can wait or attach a Bluetooth device to your radio and hide the phone and other important valuables somewhere discrete,

You can protect yourself from this traffic robberies by installing a window security film,its crystal clear and it will make the windows as strong as the windshield and the back window making it difficult for the traffic robbers to gain entry,

aaannnndd is it also bullet proof?
