How My Job Nearly Got Me Killed by Nobody: 8:56pm On May 14, 2015
My Yoruba ppl always say a parable.They said 'ENI IJA KO DEBA, LO N PE ARA RE LOKUNRIN' lol abi?
I gave all glory nd adoration to almighty Allah. May only his name be glorified. Let me start with this titbit. I'm a sales executive at my work and the nature of my Job is travelling from places to the other,to supply nd d rest. This particular journey took me down to Niger state 4rm Lag.Getting down to Bode sa'aadu, i saw an huge accident. A burning tanker that burnt more than 4 other heavy duty vehicles nd other small vehicles and injured scores(i took time to take some pics,see 'em below.sorry i took a 2mp camera phn.u should know why)
Now to the real 'Gbege' . We were thru with the transaction and coming back from Sunti down to Mokwa.Just a lil bit close to mokwa,we met thes guy, they were flashing torch light and waiving us to wait( i still feel some tension in my body as i write ds). Immediately we saw their sharp cutlasses, the driver turned his vehicle and headed back to Jaa'gi. Guys, this men took their bike and followed us in fierce pursue. Immediately i started scrapping my bag and took the lil money on me,by this time the driver was abt stopping. I jumped through the window and charged towards the bush. As i was running i heard leaves rustling and i thought to myself this guy might trace me with that sound,so i ran a lil bit and saw a tree. I looked at my back and only saw those guys searching our trailer thorougly. It then popped into my hrt to climb that tree,i lost my breathe already bt managed to climb the tree. Hmmm,i waited 4 some while on that tree b4 i realised i had some insect bitting me. On thesame point,this guys started seaching the bush 4 us.Guys it came to a stage they flashed their light into my eyes,i thought they made me. I got a cold rush throughout my body,but it lasted for some seconds,they saw nothing. But if not for God,i would be in the hospital nw,if nt worse. I give all glory to the creator for spearing my life. I was on that tree till morning when the vigilantes came to our rescue. Help me thank God. Moreso,i don't think im gonna travel there again oo. Abi bawo?

It must have been those local thieves controlling that Mokwa area. If one is unlucky enough,you might encounter them along that Minna - Lapai Road as well.

If not for the help of a powerful charm given to me by my dad that made me turn to a rabbit and escape those guys, I prolly would have been dead by now.

@op Thank God for ur life....that niger road is 4cking bad mehn, from ilorin down to mokwa, kontagora and even the entry parts of kebbi....It's not advisable one travels that road at night except u are in a luxurious bus or trailer which will run over any 4cking bandit on the way.

Ironically, 'luxurious buses' are susceptible to attacks from bandits than other vehicles.

Then I guess the best thing is not to travel that road at night. ( Though I travelled that same road at night in a luxurious bus around September last year, I guess I was lucky then)

Hey, don't you try that again. What if those hunters had got you in your rabbit form and sold you out for N630? It would have been worse angry
