How God Saved Me From The Hands Of Bandits On My Way To Abuja

Having heard severally about the ordeals suffered by some individuals in the hands of armed robbers while on a journey, including several close family members, i often wondered what it would like if I encountered such myself, because i'd never experienced such while traveling by road.

However all that was about to change several years ago when I had embarked on a journey from Lagos to Abuja.

We started the journey quite late on that day, at about 10am so by the time we got to Abuja, it was already early hours of the next day.

Having gotten to the outskirts of the FCT, Gwagwalada to be precise, the feeling was meant to be one of relief having come such a long way, and almost arriving at our destination, however, it suddenly turned to one of apprehension, as we saw several buses suddenly reversing with speed on the other lane, instead moving in the opposite direction.

Immediately, the driver of the bus I had traveled with didn't wait for anyone to tell him what was going on, as he immediately hit the reverse gear and also joined the others on the other lane moving with the back of the bus not knowing exactly why he was doing so.

It was later on we got to know that it was bandits that had mounted road blocks on the express road in order to rob road users, that we were trying to evade.

Not long afterwards, we saw that some vehicles had started moving in the forward direction once again, so we joined them not knowing exactly what was going on but assuming that it meant the road was now safe again for use.

When we had gotten close to the point the bandits had mounted the road blocks, we now understood what had taken place, as we saw sticks and stones littered on the ground, and some armed soldiers standing by and waving touches at the vehicles, beckoning to the road users that it was all clear and now safe again to use the road.

By the side of the road, we saw a parked camouflaged military luxurious bus fully loaded with military personnel, so it was obvious they were the ones that actually chased off the bandits.

The timing to me was something else, as the first time that bandit or robbers decided to attack road users on the same road I was travelling, was the same time that a camouflaged military luxurious bus packed with military personnel decided to use the same road.

I believe it was God protecting His own, although at the time, I also had some concerns, because although it was the outskirts of Abuja, I thought if those bandits could have the mind to stage such an attack in the FCT, how much more else where?

That's why I'm not too surprised at what's going on with banditry in the nation as I long saw it coming.

I pray God would intervene in the situation though, because it appears a problem too big for men alone to solve.

God bless.

So the other guys robbed belonged to the devil, welldone

Perhaps one of the motorists or passengers put a call through to a milatry security agency?

Benbellamor:
If you move early by 6:30 you will enter abuja by 5 to 6 pm but if you wait till 9:00 am before you leave Lagos. Traffic will hold you till 12 to 1 pm before you leave Lagos and another 4 hours before you leave Ibadan it will be around 4 pm, before you reach lokoja it's 9-10pm but if you leave by 6am by 9am you have already pass Ibadan and will be in osun state, by 2pm you will be in lokoja and at times 3:30pm you're in Gwagwalada 4:30 to 5:00pm you must have been in Abuja early
Lesson is, leave very early... If not Lagos traffic will rubbish your plan
Buses you can book with my experience are God is Good....or G.U.O.....they keep to time but others delays.... My opinion though
Good morning

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation.

When I traveled to calabar from Lagos the other time na Thursday morning by 7 we comot Lagos na Friday 4pm we enter calabar, ita igbon park.

Wow!

Hmmm..

deltateam:
Nigeria has the capability to end this nonsense but simply lacks the will power because of religion and ethnicity.

A drone can be deployed around that region. Once bandits are detected, they are quickly bombed. Soldiers can be deployed inside those bushes to kill at sight any gun wielding bastard.

Once this happens for one month, no madafvker will agree to be a bandit.

Woooooow, best comment by a mile.
