Thank God for her life!

I was at the scene on Friday evening... I was en route ikorodu from fadeyi.


So disgusting to see how lagosians composed themselves while the robbery lasted on the highway.


More alarming is the fact that the few police officers around ran for cover while it lasted, only for them to mobilise about 200 men to the scene 1 hour after the incident
