Yesterday by 6pm, i entered a luxurious bus from Aba to Zaria.

I am currently inside the bus which is in kaduna now on the way to zaria.

Why i post this is that by 1 am, the conductor came and announced that robbers were near/in front of us.

That was when we were near a bad portion of a road in Delta state close to Edo state. Every where was forest.

The conductor asked us to hide our best phones and much of our money so that when the robbers met us,they would only take small part of the money on us.

All of us did as the conductor said.

One minute after,the conductor came again and asked us if we were ready to meet the robbers.

Every one then stated praying.

In truth,robbers were ahead of us because no vehicle was passing us.

But the driver continued slowly forward while everyone was scared.

It was terrible.

Please my question now is: Should we have hidden part of our money and our best phones from the robbers?

Is it not dangerous to do so?

Some people in the bus were suspecting the conductor

Inside the bus now,some female passengers are calling the conductor 'Are you ready'
because he had asked us 'Are you ready to meet the robbers?'

Now we are joking with the whole thing.

But at night it was very scary.

We were all alone in the forest area of the highway.

Make sure you hide your properties well and pray they dont find them cos that is when it would become dangerous

They have said stop night journeys pple wont hear. I guess it makes sense to hide it..but can hiding items prevent kidnap

But most kidnappings are done in the day and not night

I don't understand. Were you robbed or not. When the driver knew there was robbers why not turn back?

We have passed the area of the robbery since.

This thing happened at night.

We are safe now.

But i get your point.

Sorry sister i just saw your post.

Actually the conductor said there was no need of waiting on the road side or turning back because the information they received was that robbers were around.


They were at the back and in the front and they may come to meet us if we stopped moving and stayed at one spot.


Actually the driver got the information late after we had driven into their trapped area.


Some one called the driver through phone to inform him of the danger.


Our bus was the only bus moving in the area.


Other buses who got the information earlier did not drive into the trapped area.


By the time we reached where they were operating in the front,they(the robbers) had already gone into the forest.

So we were not robbed.


After some time,one girl sitting near me jokingly said 'Are you ready to meet the armed robbers',

every one then laughed.

People then started talking about it. All girls in the bus then started calling the conductor 'Are you ready'.

Some male passengers started arguing on the advisability or otherwise of hiding money/phones from robbers.

It was fun shaa.

At least God saw us through.

No where is safe in Nigeria again. My brother, if you hide your belongings, at times they search your motor thoroughly and bring everything from the hidden place.
