A colleague was robbed today on the third mainland bridge.
He was coming to work, and he wanted to beat the day traffic.
His crime?
He left home very early. Around 5 am.
As I typed this, I am imagining the scene he narrated.
He was picked up by a Hilux.
Well, he flagged the SUV.

Entered.
Saw three men. Another person entered after him.
He told the last person he wouldn't want to sit in the middle because he'd like the fresh breeze coming from outside.
The guy got down and they exchanged seats. He sat next to the door.
They moved.

When they got to the 3rd Mainland bridge, they stopped. The driver switched on the hazard light.
The next thing that happened is something you would never wish your enemy.
Remember the auto-lock?
The guy next to him pinned his neck against the door.

The one in the front passenger's seat pointed a 9mm caliber.
The hefty one who seems to be the commander, for he was the one dishing out instructions told him to sit on the floor of the Hilux.
His balls were pinned against the floor.

A resounding slap came in a millisecond across his face.
He was asked to unlock his phone. He gave his password. It did not work.
He tried it the second time. Negative.

"Guy, He threatened, if I try this thing the third time and it gives me 'an incorrect' password prompt, I go throw you inside the lagoon".
Chills went down my spine as he narrated. I felt I was there myself.
He said his heart nearly jumped out of his mouth.

My liver would have followed my heart.
The hefty man tried it a 3rd time,
Success.
"How much do have there?" He gave an estimate. A range.
The guy found it to be true.
Money transferred. Pockets and his bag were ransacked.
"Where is that injection, make we give am?" One quizzed.

Ogbeni, put your hand on this chair.
The guy brought out a shiny sharp UTC, ready to cut his finger.
That was when it dawned on my colleague that these guys were desperate.
He told them he had toilet soap in his bag.
They robbed the soap and used their saliva as a solvent.

The ring was removed.
He has never removed the ring since he was wedded. Over 21 years ago.
Before they pushed him out, they gave him a last gift.
The hefty man took Aboniki and rubbed it in his eyes. He menthol sprayed it too.

He was pushed outside on the bridge and his bag thrown at him.
While he growled from the pain the mentholated Aboniki sent to his brain waves.
Amidst trying to locate the ground like a blind man. His hands and ears now sense organs.

He heard the hefty one said.
"God save you say you get money for your account, I for throw you inside Lagoon".
As he narrated these, chills went down my spine.
To make matters worse, there was a heavy downpour.
No vehicle stopped to pick him.
Until a good Samaritan came along.

He gave him a lift and also some money for transport.
I have read stories about these dastardly acts in books and magazines. I have never come close in contact with victims before.
Today was different.
I heard the story from a victim.
Never been myself since morning.

Men advancing from bad to worse just as the Bible prophesied.
May God continue to protect us all.
May God's kingdom come quickly I pray.
