On the 26th of June 2018, I woke up 5.15am which was extremely late for me considering the fact that my office is in ikota....so I shouted blood of Jesus Gloria you are late.. i dashed to the bathroom and all.. at about 5.40am I was ready for work so I left my house for toll gate
I got to toll gate at about 5.50, then waited for a bus... fast forward to 5.58 a sienna bus came and the driver yelled lekki ajah... as a sharp Lagos girl I quickly jumped into the bus because I didn't want to just start dragging with other passengers....
When I settled in, I realized the driver didn't pick any other passenger, that was when I knew I was in a wrong car.. so I started looking round, three guys were at the back, the dude beside me was wearing a grey suit and held a suitcase. I said to myself stop over thinking
Anyways we were 7 in total in that car... six guys and a girl....all the guys were armed robbers.... as we left toll gate, they left the door opened making it look as if they were going to pick one more passenger... my heart skipped, I could sense the danger.
That's how they went down straight to ojota and came back up to toll gate heading towards ibadan and then I screamed oga drop me drop me.. the next thing that landed on my face was one sound.. they held my kneck from the back and took off my gold chain ....
That was when the beating started... one shouted officer collect her bag.... I was with my laptop bag and my hand bag... the guy wearing the suit shouted lie down... close your eyes. Mehn I started shouting i will cooperate please don't beat me...
They continued with the beating... they started shouting unlock your phones... both my iPhone and Samsung.. I was crying and shouting please don't beat me please... the one named officer asked, how many atm card do you have , I shouted one ... they asked for the pin
Who am I not to give them, after all the stories I have heard... I gave them ooo... officer got down and they continued driving. The other guy came from the back and started kicking me... he shouted close your eyes .. and i screamed who I be wey I no go close my eyes
And then I started negotiating with them ... I said oga please you can take everything I don't mind but not my laptop ...my exam is on Friday and every thing I need is on that lappy, please i don't want to fail. The dude slapped me and shouted i said don't talk...
He now said don't worry we will give you back your bags.. just cooperate with us.. that's how the dude started praying for me ooo, he said you won't fail and I replied amen... then the driver started shouting maintain maintain control officer.
They called officer and officer told them my pin was correct and the dude shouted make we drop am... officer said yes.... so the driver passed a substance and shouted rob am for her eyes wella... apparently it was aboniki balm...
That's how they plastered my eyes with the aboniki balm I couldn't see jack.... the dude said oya give am her bag... I was still screaming please sir don't forget my laptop... he shouted shut up, I said I will give you your laptop back ..
Anyways they warned me not to run or shout if not they'll shoot ooo. I said please sir transport money to go back.. ( this cracked me up ) .... one of the dude whispered to me and said no vex nah the economy
I just nodded... that's how they dropped me in one remote area with my hand bag and my laptop... I cried so hard... I sha begged one good Samaritan who gave me transport fare back to ketu...
I am just grateful that I am alive... those guys took my perfume, my original iPhone charger ( lool) , power bank, ear piece etc but they gave me back my laptop... Haaa God is faithful
We can never be too careful because they also use Danfos to rob... let's just pray for God's protection... they would have been ritualist or something. ..
