This tactic has been around for some time. They use cab too. On 3 different occasions I bumped into their victims at Anifowose/Musa Yar'adua street, off Kofo, in VI. Two of them picked the cab on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi; one on Adeola Odeku, VI. One happened about 7:30pm, the others around 9-10pm.

The best thing is too stop carrying cards around espcially when one is not in need of it.

I think it is safer to withdraw some money and keep instead of carrying all one has worked for All about.
I'm thinking of moving money to another bank while I carry a small but considerable amount in my gt atm.

This is a sorry case one won't know what it's means until one is a victim..the banks should be able to provide the photographs of the perpetrators as there is a camera attached to all ATMs
Lesson learnt from this is don't go everywhere with your ATM cards if you don't need it..

My dear ,d banks do present d pics to victims who am sure sends to d police but have the police
Apprehended any of the suspects? The answer is no because their is no database to match d faces.
If and only we have a database of criminals in Nigeria such crimes won't be lucrative.but guess what?
The most simplest of things world over is always a big deal to implement in Nigeria!!!

Where are the police undercover to unravel the evil men behind this act?
Or they are waiting until it will affect one son/daughter of an elite.

U are talking of undercover like that? Ngr police ain't good at that ,they are good at beating to submission,they can beat
A lion till it will admit been a rabbit.and that they don't know all the criminal by local govt is an understatement!
They know those that are highway robbers,pickpockets,one chance but in as much as they give results who cares?
They only pick them when it's been done to a highly placed person or their relatives .

Btw That fadeyi-jibowu route is lucrative as well as okoko-badagry because of travelers and traders plying those route.
If passing that route early if possible drop ur ATM at home.

If I say that I feel sorry for the victims, then am lying to you all.

Why would you carry all your bank savings in form of ATM cards to be roaming all around Lagos.

Some people carry as much as 2 to 3 ATM cards. What are they using them for?

As for me, all my bank funds are in an account that is not attached to any physical thing like ATM card.

I don't leave more than 2k on my card no matter what.

You people should stop opening different accounts like womanisers.

All banks are the same and have their equal virtues and vices.

Funny thing is most of the victims flaunt plenty ATM cards like they own billions and they don't even own a car.

THE NIGERIAN PRIDE IS KILLING NIGERIANS.

That shows how stupid and insensitive our leaders are in that country called Nigeria.
In the country where I live, you have limited amount you can withdraw in one ATM card per day and
every ATM has security cameras and security personnel guiding it. No, in Nigeria police is used to kill and intimidate
innocent people. Nigerians will forever continue to suffer so long as they keep voting in money bags and recycled
politicians.

Better leave ATMs at home or office.
Banks too could improve security features for large amounts.
Banks would have pictures of the perp which would help the police.

The advent of the use of debit cards only solved the problem of cash handling and has created yet another overlooked problem which is the possibility of moving around with all you are worth financially. One way around this is not to stop boarding commercial buses as you will at some point need them especially if you are not yet mobile. However, even vehicle owners are not exempt from this menace.

One simple way to avoid this is to own multiple accounts and ensure you don't have SMS alert or debit cards for those accounts except one of them. (thankfully there is no law yet on owning multiple accounts). Also you need to have a separate mobile phone where you can domicile the banks mobile app for transfers etc on this mobile phone which is not to be carried around too.

You should use that separate account as your daily running account with alert and all. When you need more cash for your daily need or business, use quickteller or your bank's mobile app to transfer as much as you need into the daily running account.

This will help as well so that if in an eventuality you don't provoke the miscreants that you don't own or operate with a debit card. By the way what's the use of money in your bank account if you end your life by refusing to cooperate.

May God continue to protect us.

You are wise.

You can always keep some cash with you incase shii like this happen. When they can't find an ATM card on you they will at least get the cash...it's better than not getting anything at all from you cause that could lead to untimely death.

I wonder what will happen to a victim who doesn't have much in his/her bank account.

Board only painted buses at designated bus stops and don't carry any ATM card.

This is kidnapping.
I don't know why the author of this article tried to paint it with colourful brushes.
...
Whether they force you to give them your pin or call your people to bring money for them somewhere, it's all the same.

Hang these people if that's what it takes to stop this.


SamMilla1, many states in Nigeria have already made capital punishment (death sentence) the penalty for kidnapping and related crimes. The problem now lies with prosecution. And not many victims are ready to volunteer useful information for fear of reprisal attack by other unknown gang members.

This isnt funny any more
One guy a fresh graduate shared his experience in Nigeria info FM this morning on how he boarded a one chance bus too. In his own case, they were ritualists that took him. It was prayer that saved him, cos others were killed. I think we should all be careful and most likely follow BRT buses as against danfos.

This' one of the reasons I'll never board any commercial bus in Nigeria.

I've sworn and God has been faithful to me so far

My xperience wt El-rufai bus in Abj (BRT in lag)
Boarded it from nyanya to wuse at 7am.i was going for an exam.
D bus was full and d journey started. D conductor immediately collected our fares. Most of us had bigger denomination like N1000, and N500.
D fare was N100.
I had N500.
We kept asking for our change but d conductor claimed he wud get change at a filling station.
D bus stopped all of sudden just after Louis edet house, claimed d vehicle had developed a fault and de have to call a mechanic close by.
Dat was how d driver n conductor left us, wt our balance wt dem for over an hour.
I had to board a taxi cos I was almost late for my exams.

Discovered dat was der new way of robbing.

Realised d bus drivers are thieves cos anoda elrufai bus passed without stopping to help.

Not really. The maximum limit of withdrawal in an ATM machine is #150,000.... (At least according to Ecobank and UBA. I was there yesterday.)

Life is all about risks, and dis risks r increasing everyday. Nice article op, but how can one prevent such frm happening to him/her?
Do not carry your ATM cards at all times. Always use the ATM machines that is within walking distance from your home or office. Leave your ATM cards at home or in your office if it is safe to do so.

If you are traveling, withdraw the amount you need before traveling and leave your cards at home. If you need more money when you get to your destination, you can then walk into a branch of your bank and use your cheque book. Even savings account has withdrawal booklets.
