Lagos is a center of excellence no doubt about it and the state governor is doing all he could to make sure the state is free from criminal activities but it seems the he more he tries, the wiser these criminals are becoming. Apogbon bridge is fast becoming a den of robbers especially when its 4pm rushing hour, these guys rob at day light and damage your car all within 30secs, and mind you they are fully armed with guns, knives and at times cutlass. A lady named Enitan Marquis took to her page to share her ordeal in the hands of these criminal over the weekend, read below..

I wasn't going to post anything about the incident but I saw that something similar happened to another lady recently and awareness needs to be raised - so people can be even more vigilant, and solutions can be sought.

I was driving from VI to Surulere at about 8.30pm on Monday 16th October. I had just driven past Apongbon when I got into heavy traffic. I noticed two men approach the drivers side of the car in front of mine, but the driver was able to swerve away from them. I sensed something was wrong, so I tried to do the same, but was unable to cross to the other lane due to the traffic. The two men walked past my car, I then looked in my rearview mirror and saw one of them look back at my car, and then he turned around and walked back towards me.

Everything happened really fast – he approached my window, smashed the window and started stabbing my arm, saying "give me your phone, give me your bag". I was in shock, terrified and stuck in traffic. I couldn't drive anywhere. I gave him my phone, he continued stabbing my arm. I gave him my bag, and he still continued stabbing my arm.

At some point I was able to drive off, or he ran away (I can't remember which happened first). I was disorientated, scared and was driving quite erratically, hitting other cars trying to get someone's attention. I was screaming for help as my arm was bleeding out. I kept screaming to the other drivers "Help me! I've been stabbed", they just looked, no one helped.

Eventually I rammed into a car in front of me, the man came out of his car, saw the state I was in and proceeded to help me. I can only describe him as being God sent. Out of everybody who was in that traffic only one man took it upon himself to help... I was stabbed 9 times in my arm - for a phone and handbag.

We always hear that the 'ember months are dangerous, but Lagos State, Lagos Police, WHAT IS BEING DONE to prevent these incidents? WHAT IS BEING DONE to reduce the ridiculous traffic that are breeding grounds for these incidents? And people of Lagos, myself included, WHAT ARE WE DOING to be better?

All Glory to God that I'm able to tell this story and testify of His goodness, divine protection and mercy ��

I hope LASG do something fast about that bridge, those police on 3rd Mainland should relocate to this place as well. I passed there last week, I was just reciting Ps 23... Guys are not smiling

These robbers are now daredevils.
On Sunday 29th too, I was in surulere when I say a lady ran past a Toyota Matrix and another woman on the floor dragging her bag with a dirty looking guy at the other side around 3pm, I heard her shout thief thief, the guy was on the divider, I wanted to stop but he had a knife so I moved forward because he attempted to stab me, he got on a bike I was Infront, my mum whom I was to drop kept shouting on me to drive off, when the Okada was nearly at my side, I wanted to ram them to the curb but my mum grip my hands and asked me to let them go, she was saying I have started disobeying her instructions, I wanted to kill her, she was panicking, I attempted to follow the bike man but he put his hands in his shirt like he had a gun my mind was now like

-what of if he really had a gun or got down smashed the glass and stabbed my mum

-what if I crush them and police decide to convict me of manslaughter

-what if something goes wrong and the thieves overpower me and stab me or killed me.

I wasn't happy with myself since yesterday and I hate Nigeria more yesterday because I couldn't assist someone in need. But again I wanted to help but rendering help in Nigeria now is a hard thing to do.
