This happened to my friend this morning on Lokoja Okene road around 8:30am. They were attacked by armed men. His car was short on motion , thanks to Almighty God. They were two in the car and two of them escaped unhurt. They have to stop in the next village to the scene of this incident as the car could not move further because bullet damage some electrical components in the car system. Below are the pics.

Unfortunately among the vehicles coming behind them we learnt they killed one person and kidnapped some of the passenger. We really need the help of government to intervene in this constant criminal act on Lokoja Okene road.

What is Nice one ?

Your friend should have recorded the sound of the gun shot for the "adonbilivit crew"

Omo!

This is assault rifle oo. Thank God for their lives.

This is becoming too much of a menace. So these wicked Okene people and their Fulani counterparts have now 'upgraded' from sporadic highway armed robbery to kidnapping?

OKENE and ROBBERY is like Heat and fire.
Possibly Fulani highway robbers.
Thank GOD, but make sure u guys give a Police Report

@OP, tell your friend and his passenger to thank their lucky stars. I've looked at the pictures again and it look like at least 3 bullets were fired at the car. The first two was fired from the front towards the driver. One hit the bonnet and the other went through the windscreen and out of the side window. The third bullet went horizontally across the car through both windows (fired just about level with the driver, I'd guess). Luckily your friend hadn't leaned forward and the bullet was high enough not to hit his driving hands/left shoulder. Was there more than one shooter? or just one on the driver side of the road? please ask your friend.

They were both very lucky. Look at the exit hole of the third bullet. Compare its entry point on the driver side to the exit position at the passenger side relative to the window, it was getting closer to hitting the front passenger with the forward motion of the car.

It may have been random shooting on the part of the robber , but I have a feeling whoever was trying to stop your friend is not new to weapons and was going for upper body/head shots. For what it is worth, they should note the exact location and let people and the authorities know.

When your friend has calmed down enough, ask him to narrate the events. I want to know how these robbers try to stop people in cars.

yes it has been happening between Lokoja and Okene for a while, whenever they see big cars they shoot the driver and kidnap the remaing occupants of the car for Ransome, people in the villages and some regular road users told us that is almost every day activities. I don't really know what the authorities concern are doing?
