I stop and board a bus that had only two at the front, the driver and one other guy and the whole back seat empty. the driver told me to join them at the front as he open the door. I joined them at the front and few minutes later while we were moving the driver told me to lock the door properly and I keep telling him the door is lock and okay like that.

you know those old bus with no door handle and one need to draw a connecting slim rod in the old shattered and scrap door before it can open and only the driver knows how to do that.

he did it and it open and told me to jam it with force which I did while the vehicle was still in motion. the next thing I heard was a loud shouting from the guy that sat with me. his fingers are lock at the upper side of the door. he was shouting my hand my hand. the driver was shouting too you have lock his hand open the door open the door. the vehicle was still in motion. I was confuse at the moment as there were adrenaline rush, I was strongly with the door which has no handle both the inside and outside of the door, i put my hand outside for the door handle no way. inside no way. I tried to open the door by the slim rod no way. then I start telling the driver stop the car and come it himself.

then the guy later pull his hand out from it. as i thought maybe his fingers have finally cut off. but to my amazements the fingers where still intact not even a sign of trauma but he was just holding it tightly like something serious really happened. what a relief for me as I keep on telling him sorry as I didn't know his hand was there when I jam the door. but I examine the place were he put his hand and there was a slack space up there as the door have lost those tight sealed. its loose at the top side when it was locked which would not have promoted the guy to be shouting like that. well I just wave it off.

then the next thing the driver said VIRO is out now. he can't go again. that we should come down and find another bus and as I came down from the bus I was expecting the other guy to come down too but he shot the door and they zoom off. that was when it came to me it was all a set up. I quickly check for my pocket only the small torchlight phone was left the big one was gone. it was selectively picked.

I was just looking at them as they driving away. there was no means to chase them. no keke for charter to go after them.

my wallet was at the other side of my pocket that is the door side. they would have collect it too.

this happened at airport flyover bridge Enugu.

In Lagos, street urchins survive on phone snatching till they marry and give birth to small little phone snatchers.

This isn't one chance, more like pickpockets, sorry for your loss

So sorry for ur lost and bitter experience, thatz their motive first they will create a commotion to get lost and confused but most times i wonder why ppl will prefer to rub ppl of their hard earned belongings just to feel smart as they claimed if u manage to caught in the act bring tire to set them ablaze they will be shouting satan oooooo biko satan dey em own na u find trouble..

Hmm.. so sad. Not one chance, bro. It's more like local pickpocket. Those ones are still doing industrial attachment. I hope they repent very soon. Sorry for the loss, bigger things awaits you. The phone is like a sacrifice for something big.

When you hear my hand my hand just know it is those crooks.
My guy lost 50k in to these guys. Just the pattern they used in robbing you. God will punish them.

Lol

Where did he mention.Lagos in that post? Haba, Oponu ni ooo

Sorry bro, you learned the hard way. They used one of the oldest tricks jn the book for you.

They thrive on confusion to strike. It happened to me one time. A lady was saying she was uncomfortable. I was adjusting until my power bank fell off without notice.

I couldn't believe females also do it.

Op sorry God will replace all. Thank God you weren't physically harmed. You need to welcome back your sim card immediately.

I swear, just exactly the way you narrated it..
It happened to my close friend too buh he's quickly checked his pocket before alighting.
He just saw his phone on the seat..

They have tried this same trick with me in Lagos but in my case, it wasn't a one chance action.
I boarded a bus from Ikeja along to Oshodi on my way back from church one sunny Sunday Morning.
There were passengers inside the Danfo bus....these were normal passengers but the conductor, driver and one guy sitting in the front were the actors.

Oshodi! Oshodi!! Oshodi!!! yelled Owa oo!!! The conductor quickly opened the front door for me to come in meanwhile there were seat i could have sat apart from the front seat. Oya for the door to lock na problem and the danfo was in motion. I was distracted already. I did not know how they did it. The driver was yelling "lock it push it, jam it"" I got tired trying to lock the door and told the driver to come down and lock it while the bastard in the front seat with the driver was busy trying to remove my phone in my pocket. That Lagos slogan that says "Shine your eyes" was ringing in my head coupled with little street smartness i have made me notice the way the guy used his bag to cover his hand trying to put his hand in my pocket. I gave the guy trying to remove my phone a very hot slap and i told the driver to stop the bus. He stopped and i alighted.
