Robberies in traffic on Lagos roads - Read Shared Experiences Of Victims

FIRST ACCOUNT

This is also an appeal to the appropriate agencies in Lagos and other states. Curb the menace of traffic robbery now before these robbers start killing people. Talent manager Isioma Osaje shares her experience below.

'I want to give my testimony. At 11:30pm two sets of people attempted to rob me in traffic. I had just gotten off the phone with my mum to say I was in standstill traffic. When the first set of two guys yelled at me from outside my window to wind down. Unknown to me she immediately said a prayer for my safe return. I remember hearing that your best escape was to honk your horn repeatedly. I put my hand on the horn and didn't let go. And I called God in my mind to help me. Immediately I saw an opening in the next lane and swerved in, still pressing my horn. They fled.

5 minutes later three guys came to the drivers side window. Pointing torches into my car. Same instructions. Wind down give us something. Next thing I see something swing and my window shatters. At that very minute another space opens on the next lane and I swerve in while honking. They fled.

Many would say I was almost robbed, I say I was saved. Thank you God for your mercies.

SECOND ACCOUNT

Another person shares his frightening experience. Read below (something has to be done about this!)

I got robbed on Eko bridge last night at around 8pm. The most painful part is that while the episode played out for about 5 mins, people in other cars just looked on unconcerned. I had my wife and 9 month old baby in the car at the time but that didn't beset them as they scattered the side glass all over them in a movie like manner. They managed to break two of my side windows and made away with 3 mobile phones and my sister's bag which had her cards and other valuables inside. Please advise your readers to be careful on the usual Eko bridge traffic when coming to the mainland in the evening
