10 Years Ago: He Kept Me
On this day, exactly 10 years ago (Dec 6, 2010), I ran into armed robbers around 6am on my way to work. My sister-in-law was seated in the car at the back. It was around Customs Road at Yaba.
On this day, exactly 10 years ago (Dec 6, 2010), I ran into armed robbers around 6am on my way to work. My sister-in-law was seated in the car at the back. It was around Customs Road at Yaba.
When we saw the robbers, it was almost too late to escape. There was confusion as cars ran into one another in the ensuing melee. My vehicle had been bashed front, back and the passenger’s side as we all struggled to get away from the scene.
I saw a robber approach me with his gun held directly in front of him. I opened the door, jumped out and ran. It was the race of my life under a hail of bullets. I tried to run zig zag and the Lord was merciful to me that no car ran into me or killed me.
I ran into a mosque where early morning prayers were being held and the whole congregants scattered. It was then I remembered that I left my driver and sister-in-law behind. My driver too escaped but my sister-in-law was trapped inside her seat belt in the car.
The robbers came to the car, ransacked it but left my sister-in-law without any harm.
By the time I came to myself in the mosque, I saw my trousers had parted into different pieces- possibly from the way I ran.

I’m grateful the Lord preserved me in that horrible encounter and I’m alive to tell the story.
Thank You, Jesus.
