A friend of mine, shared a story

“It was 2pm, I dropped off my car at the mechanic, and had to rush to Ikeja, to resume at my job. Waiting at the bus stop, I saw a Toyota corolla car honking for passengers, I signaled the driver, he stopped, I checked inside to see how many passengers(due to stories of one chance, I am careful not to fall victim). I checked and it was just the driver and a passenger on the front seat.

I entered, chilling in the back of the car, the air condition blowing me, after a few metres, the driver stopped to pick up more passengers, two men entered, both decided to enter from both sides of the door, sandwiching me in the middle.

I thought nothing of it, but alas 50 meters into the journey, the guy on the left, grabbed me, while the other on the right side, pulled out a knife, stabbing my legs, the other guy at the front seat, brought out a hammer, he was hitting my knees severely with the hammer.

At this point I was weak, they did not relent, they were blowing my face, hitting me with hammer, and stabbing my body at the same time, I quickly gave them my phone, but they requested for the password, and forced me to transfer all the amount I have in the account to them. I had no choice but to succumb, i lost all my savings that day, and was dropped off with severe injuries, on the road”.

We have heard thousands of stories about “one chance” operators, in Nigeria, hence we thought it necessary, to share with Nigerians some tips, on avoiding these armed robbers, that pose as transporters.

Avoid entering private vehicles: most one chance syndicates, use private vehicles, for their operations, and most Nigerians usually fall prey, perhaps due to rush, trying to get somewhere or meet up to and appointment, safety first, avoid entering private vehicles, posing as transporters, wait patiently for normal colored buses.

Do not enter a vehicle you did not stop: most one chance operators are opportunists, sometimes they trap their victims, by luring them to enter their vehicles.

Do not enter a vehicle, that just stops to pick you, without you indicating for it to stop, be patient, observe, and stop the right vehicle you need to enter…use your eyes, ears and instincts, when on the road.

One chance operators are more prevalent at night: Be extra careful when moving at night, if possible, use a taxi, at night is when most cases of one chance incidents are recorded, they use the cover of night to perpetuate the evil act.

Avoid vehicles with tinted glasses: When choosing a taxi or bus, make sure the windows are not tinted, as this gives the criminals more advantage.

Thanks for sharing!

Safety first.
