Just legalize guns already... Let's level the playing field, since security has gone to the dogs.

A graduate of Physics from the Kogi State University, Tomi Waziri, 27, has lost his eyesight to an armed robbery attack while in traffic in the Apongbon area of Lagos.

According to Punch, Waziri, who was waiting for his call up letter from the National Youth Service Corps for the mandatory one year service, was said to have approached his sister’s husband to engage him as a Taxify ride hailing service driver until he would be mobilised for the scheme.

It was learnt that on September 12, two armed robbers attacked him while in traffic and shot him in the face.

Waziri was said to be conveying a female passenger to the Papa Ajao area of Mushin around 8.00 p.m., when the robbers attacked him.

They were said to have left immediately they shot him.

The victim narrated his experience, “I live at No. 35 Daudu Street, Mafoluku, Oshodi. I was robbed in traffic on the Apongbon Bridge, Lagos, on September 12, 2019, by two young men around 8pm. I was a Taxify (now Bolt) driver and I had a female passenger in the car. We were going to Papa Ajao, Mushin.

“One of the robbers pointed a gun at me; I was about giving him my phone, when he shot me in the face and collected the phone. The pellets shattered the window and hit me in my two eyes.

“The robbers ran away immediately I was shot. My passenger became scared and panicky. The next thing I noticed was that she disembarked from the vehicle and began calling for help as she was running away.

“I was bleeding profusely without help. I came down from the vehicle and shouted for help; nobody answered. After about five minutes, two policemen showed up.

“They were the ones who took me to the Military Hospital, Yaba, in my vehicle. One of the policemen drove us to the hospital. While driving, the other was busy holding me and saying kind words to me so that I wouldn’t give up.

“When we got there, I was given first aid to stabilise my condition.

“I lost vision immediately I was shot. After treatment, it is still the same, we are only hoping for God’s intervention. The vehicle belongs to my sister’s husband. I used to remit money to him pending when I would get the NYSC call-up letter.”

According to him, his brother-in-law has been supportive, and is always around for him.

Waziri noted that the doctors at the Eye Foundation, Isaac John Street, Ikeja GRA, told him that if he had been treated earlier, he would have regained sight in his right eye.

He added, “I went for surgery at the Eye Foundation. Before then, I was being treated at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, and I was about to do the surgery at LASUTH, but there were delays there.

“It was through God’s help that we were able to do it at the Eye Foundation. And when we got there, we were told that if we had come for the surgery earlier, I would have been seeing with at least my right eye. LASUTH was just negligent and wasting time.

“What the doctors are saying now is that we can only hope for the best; what I know is that there is no vision now.”

Waziri noted that his nose was treated at LASUTH, adding that there were still pellets in his face and two teeth, as there were pellets logged in the gum.

He said the doctors told him that if he wanted to get permanent treatment for his damaged teeth, he would have to pay N350,000 for each.

Concerning the pellets in his face, he said the doctors advised him that any attempt to remove them would result in more damage, adding that his body would expel them naturally.

All this small small boys that are taking weed and threating people with guns. Imagine just because of ordinary phone. What if he had shot the guy in the wrong place and he died. Person wey dey still try hustle to make ends meet. It is well o. That was how one armed robber in a one chance commercial yellow bus accidentally shot one of my friends sister coming from school on the head. For me, I think it's still lack of adequate security otherwise those boys wouldn't have been scared to hang around the territory in the first instance.

I pray for the victim that God will raise your helper and you shall receive your sight in Jesus name.

The Nigerian masses are the enemies of their fellow masses.

A struggling young man waiting for NYSC call up who chose to live responsibly by engaging in legitimate hustle and some idiotic elements felt the appropriate thing to do was to rob him at gun point to the extent of shooting him after he had released his phone to them. I do not worry about the leaders anymore but the followers who will always harm their fellows. No sense of comradeship among the masses!

Wickedness. It's bad enough to rob the poor guy but to further shoot him in the face? The perpetrators of these crime deserve the most torturous deaths ever!!!

How many times do female robbers shoot victims?? Masculinity is toxic and men are inferior to women.

The funniest part is that the proceeds of this crime will be spent on women. Men sha.

It's really sad. I wish these robbers understood the rules of engagement. You don't need to pull the trigger just to steal a phone. You dont need to kill anyone to instill fear in them....lessons from hollywood. Sorry bro. Nemesis will catch up with them.

No advance payments required! We're Nigeria's Best Web Designers/Developers. Kleeek H-E-R-E- for past projects

Nemesis . they cannot run away from.

I know this might not be the case scenario, but let me drop it.
If you find yourself in such distress and the armedrobbers are demanding for something in your pocket, under your car sit or anywhere not so visible, pls try to tell them before reaching out to the item. Most time they think you are trying to retaliate or pull out a defence object and instantly, he might pull the trigger.

May God protect us all!
