How My Phone Was Stolen By Lagos One Chance by ibro2much(m): 7:36pm On Sep 17, 2016
let me use this opportunity to brief my nairalander family about the new tricks now being used by one chance operators on unsuspecting/innocent passengers on lagos roads.
I happen to travel back from akure into lagos,this morning (saturday,17th september 2016), i was dropped at alausa secretariat bus stop along lagos ibadan expressway.i tried looking for a commercial bus to take me to my destination(oshodi)but most importantly see have been filled up before getting to the busstop.
after some minutes of waiting for vehicle,two commercial vehicle came at the same time calling for persengers,i entered the first vehicle because although its empty,there was a persenger beside the driver unlike the second,i sat down beside him at the front and the vehicle left the bus-stop,suddenly the conductor opened the door beside me and started closing/jamming it Intermittently,i was distracted with his actions,it got to a time i had to take over the door from him so as to close it well myself.then driver packed,asked me to get down with the excuse that the conductor want to find solution to the door problem.i got down as Instructed,but lo and behold,the bus zommed off immediately i stepped down.
something in my mind tells me all is not well,because i dont see any reason why he should drop me at nowhere and speedoff,that was when i checked my pocket and discovered my phone(samsung s4) is missing..........probably the reason the driver speed off after dropping me where it would be hard for me to get another vehicle to pursue them.

lesson learnt

watch the kind of vehicle you enter in lagos,if too scantily filled avoid like plague,they may be 2 or 3 men gang operating one chance.

try at all time to board vehicle from the park(in case of eventuality,they can be easily tracked).

as a security measure try to memorise vehicle numberplate before you enter them.

if peradventure you find yourself inside one chance,please and please do not struggle with them,your life is more precious than anything they want to take from you,they can be deadly.

if you find out that the vehicle conductor/ is in hurry to pick just one or two persenger and leave, take caution in entering such vehicles,they may be one chance syndicate.

also as a security measure we should endeavour to password all applications(including mobile banking apps,messages,photo etc) on our phones and delete all messages relating to financial transactions on our phones as soon as possible...it can easily fall into wrong hands when stolen.
(thank GOD i did password)

never get distracted when you are in a commercial bus,it might be intentional so as to catch you unaware
(i fell for this)

last but not the least,we should commit ourself into the LORD before any journey and always SHINE YA EYE.
(thank GOD for sparing my life)
