ebamma: if you are attacked by an armed robber there are two things involved,its either he is armed with a knife or armed with a gun,if he is armed with a knife you are safe,but if he is armed with a gun there are two things involved,its either you give him what he wants or he shoots you,if you give him what he wants you are safe,but if he shoots you there are two things involved,its either you die on the spot or you are taken to a hospital.if you are taken to a hospital you are safe,but if you die on the spot,there are two things involved its either you go to heaven or go to hell.if you go to heaven you are safe but if you go to hell there is onLy one thing involved you are doomed I beg no use laff kill pepsin o. |

bashr8: lagos have always been like that i wonder why you people are complaining now, that state is know for people being robbed and extorted on the road and i dont even think theres anything the govt can do about it, you just have be careful. True, it's a regular occurrence. You don't even need to be in a vehicle for you to be robbed. |

[size=17pt] I dey fear the liver sef make e no put me for trouble one day. Lol !! I was a bit scared cos I had a family friend that was murdered @ Akpongbon not too long b4 then and colleagues come to work everyday with unpleasant stories of robbery encounters they night before. I know the risk of driving with wound down windows and sharp sharp the next day, I sent the car in for the AC to be repaired. [/size] |

Have you heard stories too of what they do to commuters (in public transport) to and from work? Those people are born heartless. And to imagine that the day their mothers gave birth to them, some even called parti. if only they knew! |

Kay-Dee: I couldn't even have gone as far as you did! Most likely, the first thought that will occur to me is "bullet no know face". At least you were able to pull it off. So sorry about the death of your friend. Security is just a big problem in this country. |

bandiejay: Thank You OMG! You survived this with no human casualties? How can somebody intentionally do that to a car? Even when they knew you had beaten them to their game? I guess whatever drug they take controls them during that period. Pele o. At least you are alive to tell this story. Please can I seek your permission to forward this message and pics to my non NL friends? We need to be very careful. |

azpekuliar: Kidnappers abi?. We are talking of petty arm robbery. If those petty road thiefs can steal in broad day light and go scot free those kidnappers u compare them with will hold lagos state ramson for 7 hrs and still go scot free. |

This is just a daily occurrence as i have had the experience 3 consecutive times,they succeeded ones because i was carrying my wife and two kids.My wife was so scared that when i refused to roll down the glass she started pulling me that i cannot afford to kill her and the children with my stubbornness,people were just watching as if it was a movie while all this was going on.I had to relax myself rolled down the glass and they made a way with our valuable but not without a gift for my stubbornness,as they used the butt of the gun to hit my head,i started bleeding managed to get to a point and parked. The guy behind me saw everything and really gave a helping hand to tie my head with his T-shirt as mine was already soaked with blood, he also helped in directing me to a nearby hospital and ensured i was ok before he left. It is really sad and i don`t wish anyone to experience it. I wish Nigerians can be allowed to carry arms for self defense as obtainable in the U.S because for me that is the only remedy. 1 Like |

[quote author=bandiejay]Thank You 2 weeks ago, i was about to be robbed along iyana-ipaja i was comming from the airport i went to pick my friend who just came in to the country after i droped him at abidap hotel very close to where i live. I saw 3 hefty men in front of me with double barrels in police uniform but my mind told me police will always carry AK47 not double barrel so i increased my spead to avoid being stoped since there was no turning back. These guyz were mean without knowing one was hiding 1metre ahead he threw a stick towards me and God saved me cos i had to swerve to dodge it which was successful and eventually caused my car to be writen-off. I will post the picture of the car you see the stick right in-front of my windscreen hooked at the seat of the passenger thanks to God no one was there. Bro. seriously i am happy you are alive to tell this story,this guys are cowards. They have no guts just the influence of weed, alcohol and the guns they carry.You need to see them when they are under arrest,they are chickens. 1 Like |
