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

men, i need car camera. At least little evidence might lead to find them.

masseratti:
haba Tonye at no point did Fashola blamed Get 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.

Are you this country?

maybe u re not in lagos

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

extinctbeauty:
maybe u re not in lagos

I do, but I don't leave my house until it's 7am, using Ikorodu rd (relatively safe)

hmmmm. Let the security agents wake up from their slumber.
Let Governor Ambo, sit up, its not time to plan, he had over 4 months to plan, let him implement what he has being planing.
Lagos will work again i pray.

Put your handbags, valuables in the trunk. Buy yourself a nokia torchlite phone and keep with you in the car. Buy a wireless bluetooth car reciever, with your phone in your handbag in the trunk you can still receive calls.
God forbid it happens, you at least will have your valuables. My Mrs even carries a dummy hand bag filled with books. The main bag stays in the trunk.

Ambode is not just a big disgrace to APC but also to the people of yoruba land. he is not ready to work, he is only showcasing his gold wrist watch.shame to my people

These critters have struck again. My experience has left a scar psychologically that I no longer drive to work. Lagos state authorities should beaf up security on the bridges. These maniacs and social miscreants are visible hanging under bridges. The police should be more proactive.

This is an appeal to the Governor of the state.[size=8pt][/size]

Do we have a governor in this lagos state?

Can Ambode wake up already?! Which kind of olodo governor is this for goodness sake

This is bad. What is the commissioner of police doing? If this becomes a trend then we are in for trouble o.

Beremx:
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!

have you suddenly become a wailer?

Ambode is the governor; deal with that ooooo
he's not the police.

all these are as a result of the thugs used by pdp that have now
become redundant; opc inclusive

Yet the governor is there forming twitter warrior..

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.

Wat will happen will happen u might end up receiving a gun shot wen they come and find out u hide it... Any man that left his home with a gun for robbery is not joking oooh... If u jam u will believe. Give them all cos with ur life u can have more

At 5a.m, a woman ought to be satisfying her hubby in bed. What's she looking for? Career?



BTW, Buhari promised to recruit 1,000,000 police officers, right?

Ambode is not the police but it is his JOB to ensure security of lives and properties in the state he governs!

Its about time people get strapped,get yourself a licensed piece people

Lagos is missing Fasola already .these nonsense won't occur during his tenor ..The boys dread Fasola . A no nonsense Governor.

Am sorry for Lagocians for voting for this Man, Ambode will start work about a year to the end of his first tenure just to attract ur Vote again, to be honest can anyone compare Fashola with this man??
1. Traffic robbery on increase
2. Traffic situation on increase
3. Police brutality on increase
4. Area boys activities on increase
5. Long peaceful Oshodi is now a no go area.

simplycarro:

And you think men can't be robbed.

ignis:

And you think men can't be robbed.

Says who?, but so far, the ladies have been far more susceptible to these opportunistic attacks.

Jonathan resign Now!

Well, what do you expect when a plus-size male model with great taste for colourful blazers is voted in as governor

ephi123:

Right, you are

my reference was to the fact that she wishes Fashola continues
as governor.
she'll not accept the same from the wailer when they they wish
gej continues

Our leaders are so daft that, a metro city as big as Lagos do not have things put in place to decongest traffic and provide alternative routes to heavily plied roads. Yet people pay tax and several other levies.

Well, the money meant for the development of the city is probably cooling in one Swiss account under the name of a distant relative.
The only thing our leaders know how to do excellently is stealing.

Yet these baboons we call politicians and leaders will go to other countries and enjoy the brainwork of public servants like them.
