A man identified as Okeme Arome Romey has narrated how he escaped death after being confronted by armed robbers on his way to Abuja from Kaduna state. Read what he shared below;

On the seventeenth of May in the year of our Lord two thousand and seventeen, at about 6.20pm, I cheated death...yet again.

I had just spoken with Arc. Felix and hung up with a wry smile that didn't go just too soon. It's being a while I saw the young man. I was headed to Abuja from Kaduna in a public car, there was a gentleman who sat next to my left engrossed in his phone and I peeped and he let me in on what he was watching. I smiled because I had seen the funny video before.

I focused on the journey proper as we drove some 20-30min after taking off, I realized we were at a village called Rijanna and I let my fibers and muscles relax as we had some 1-2hrs more of driving to do. Just as I made to relax, I caught a glimpse of a car parked in the distance by the side of the road with some rough looking men, about 5, wearing military camouflage tops and other trousers wielding guns, I recognized a locally made pistol and some bigger AK47 rifles.

They were obviously the Highwaymen. This mental calculations took only a few seconds to register and I whispered aloud, Robbers! They were robbing the occupants of the vehicle as I saw them all seated on the ground distraught. We had unfortunately ran into them, one of them started beckoning at us to come closer, we were some 50-100meters away, so i asked the driver to reverse the car and try to escape. He obliged.

As the car screeched to retreat, one of the robbers launched after us, he pointed his gun at the vehicle and squeezed the trigger, there were rain of bullets digging their way through the thick body of the car with ease, wheel screen shattered and glasses splintered hither and thither. I was under the illusion that we had escaped when out of the blues three other colleagues of theirs emerged from the bush behind us in a commando style with AK 47s and opened fire on the car, I was sitting just directly where the car was taking fire. The driver opened his door and jumped out, the passenger at the extreme left of me behind the driver opened his door also and we began pouring out.

Once outside, we made for the trough on the side of the road in an attempt to escape to the other carriage of the road leading cars from Abuja to Kaduna. The robbers didn't give up just yet, they ran after us and kept shooting, bullets bounced off the ground close to my feet and flew past my side, I missed a step and fell, picked myself up and commenced running again. It was obvious my mind ran faster than my legs. I kept the motivation going by saying to me, " breathe easy and run for it, you haven't been hit". To the glory of God alone, I made it to the other side of the road and kept running while flagging cars down. I was finally lucky to get one which stopped, whisked me away to some 2-3 km from the site of the action where I met the police preparing to respond. They had obviously heard the shots and noticed the long queue building up on the highway.

As I was running I could see from the corner of my eyes how cars were trying hard to turn around, some left their cars in the middle of the road and jumped out, passengers were pouring out through windows and skedaddling, people were falling off as others took cover in the bushes. It was a chaotic sight.

Hmmm... It's true o... On my way to Minna just this yesterday Wednesday 24th of May, 2017 they way robbing the other lane (I.e those coming from Abuja to Kaduna) around 2pm. In fact I was asleep when I heard the other passengers shouting and I woke and got to know that that's what happened. I didn't even take it serious although my mind was unsettled through out the rest of the journey, I just thank God Almighty am still alive.[b][/b]
The government need to do something about this.

I'm so shaken and yet to come to terms with the fact that my timeline would have been flooded with RIP and eulogies of all sorts this morning by both my friends and frenemies.
So it happened that I went to Akure on the 23rd ad the journey was marred by very unusual irregularities, given that I'd plied that road time without number.
First off, I suddenly started feeling nauseous and was gasping for air even though the car has full air-conditioning.
Secondly, the car then ran over some nails and kpoom!!! the front tyre went down in seconds. We had to pull over and spent close to two hours trying to replace it with the spare(one bolt VEHEMENTLY refused to come off) The sun wasn't helping matters either with its rays scalding our skin like we were being baked for lunch.
We finally changed the tyre and continued on our journey, drove some distance and noticed that the car was shaking like it had Parkinson's Disease, the replaced tyre was wobbling badly(which kind wahala be this?) My principal partner advised the driver to move slowly so we don't have to lose the tyre again since there's no more spare.
We drove for 30 minutes and suddenly heard kpaa!
My partner: ...(Drivers name) is that your tyre?
Driver: Oga, make I check (pulling over)
Me: Sir, that's gun shot, yay! And just like a movie, we saw two daredevils, wielding AK47 assault rifles, right in front of our car, shooting at us, mogbe!!!
We all ducked, save for the principal who kept shouting move! don't stop! keep moving!!! The driver in a rare display of bravery, drove zigzag, dodged the volley of bullets and fiam, we escaped!!!
I got home, dishevelled, and kept asking what would have happened as I squatted in the car, with my hands on my head, waiting for a bullet or bullets to pierce through. Would I have lived? How does it feel being dead? Oh, I'd never have found out, cos I'd have been stone dead and dead people know and feel nothing.
I still have palpitations from the shock but I'm very grateful to have survived the ordeal cos if we had been caught yesterday, we'd all four occupants, have been shot dead(for daring to run) or taken hostage for a ransom.
Either way, it's still scary.
