Amicable09, I'm sorry about what u went through. Mine is similar but worse. I was the only passenger, I had just come into Lagos for a training, so I didn't really know anything. one of the guys was busy handling my breast, I got slaps on my eyes, they took my wallet, card, watch and phone. Applied aboniki balm to my eyes, dropped me off. It was a truck driver that assisted me, gave me his phone to call my facilitator, calmed me down. Since then I have been scared of entering buses even taxis. Last friday, I entered a taxi and it was late, the driver now stopped near a bush saying he crushed a snake, I jumped out of the taxi and other passengers were looking at me like a mad person. I haven't gotten over the trauma and it's depressing. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

This was very common some ten years ago when I was working on the Island and living on the mainland. Even though I took the staff bus around 5:45am and was 100% prepared for those robbers, I couldn’t still escape the ones on the bike with army uniforms. I was chased by the bike and ran into the bush to take cover. A friend of mine wasn’t lucky as he was shot dead on the spot around 6am while also waiting for his staff bus. I had to make an arrangement with HR that the staff bus driver picks me up inside my estate. I don’t know how you are going to escape these robbers if you continue to take danfos during the dark hours of the day. 3 Likes 1 Share |

NwanyiAwkaetiti: Stun gun/pepper spray to stun/spray who??... in a bus, where you have more than six able bodied men, wielding axe, knives, matchetes and guns?? kawai!! MODIFIED Anyone who falls victim to these guys and they end up finding such item(s), stungun or pepper spray in the course of searching your bag....i just pray the person comes out alive, because they can actually use such device on their victim. Be security conscious. Always board a bus from the Bus station(not from one random junction). cheers! 4 Likes 3 Shares |

tolusan:Sorry bro, you got me all wrong. The fact that those desperate robbers couldn't reached another dispensing atm before she could regain her sight and also visited all her banks to get her cards blocked baffles me. I am still surprised at her heroic display as she was able to move from bank to bank to get her cards blocked yet the robbers who were mobile could not get an atm machine to perform their devilish act. What could have happened? A miracle? If yes, no one can tell otherwise the op only wanted to educate people on some security measures. To say I have not learnt anything from the post is an understatement. I will never wish that evil should come upon anybody even my enemy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me 1 Like |

There are real humans behind these monikers with stories that would blow your mind. Just because 'her heroic display' baffled your mind doesn't make it any less true. Can you guys stop trying to disprove people's stories just because it does not fit into a stereotype? She got into one chance, and God came through in unique ways including giving her the calm to think straight. Oga, let's give thanks in her behalf. Btw, it's not a cooked story. I know Amy and she was attacked indeed. Plus, on this same thread someone has identified the second co-victim of that same attack. Although, you don't have to believe it anyways. May they not disbelieve your own Thanksgiving. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
