This happened at Garison in Port harcourt. An elderly man(in his 50's) accused me of being a pickpocket in front of a massive crowd

It happened around 6pm at Garison busstop.. They were so many people waiting to board either a taxi or a bus heading towards rumola.. So once a car stops, people tend to drag or push each other just to enter any commercial vehicle.. I waited for a car close to 30 minutes and decided to do the dragging game. A car came and I was trying to struggle close to d back door, then I mistakenly touched one elderly man(who was also struggling to enter) by his back(close to his pocket area and not inside his pocket).. It was a mistake cos we were all pushing and dragging with our hands.. The guy shouted that I was a theif.. That he will slap me(see me, see wahala).. Everybody(close to a 100) focused on the scene.. I shouted back and explained to him.. The guy told me to shut up.. I dragged and explained even to others.. But the crowd seemed to believe the man(I even heard a lady saying na so dem go dey dress well dey thief). Can u imagine the embarrassment.. One of the agberos wanted to bring out tyre.. But another agbero stopped him and told me to leave the man.. He probably saved me. Cos I think I would have been brutally injured or killed if it were to be some other places in nigeria(don't want to mention names).. The man was still shouting and I shouted back while explaining.. He later boarded a vehicle and I left the scene. Majority of d crowd started avoiding me after my explanation.. How can I be a pickpocket when I'm a graduate. Its so sad.. I JUST DONT KNOW WHY MOST NIGERIANS ARE NAÏVE AND SO QUICK TO BELIEVE. So please, if u are stocked in a bus stop
, be careful how u place ur hand when dragging with people just to enter a bus or taxi cos someone might wrongly accuse you.. THAT'S THE MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT IN MY LIFE. Feel free to share ur most embarrassing moment..

double post. see it below.

Sorry for your ordeal. But people have suffered a lot from those pick pockets. i have personally lost two gsm phones to them while struggling to enter buses at Ikeja along bus stop and at iyana Ipaja under bridge respectively.

Some people are slowpokes. U're a lucky fellow man, some others weren't that lucky (I also won't mention names). It just baffled me how a human being 'll bring out a tyre and want to burn another fellow man 2 death, it's bad, very bad.

Haa eyah sorry well na taxi i dey usually board nothing concern me with those bad damaged buses dat we hav on our roads
