He wrote; "Hello, my name is Oluwadamilola Ayinde Oluwaseyi and I want to first of all thank God for giving me a second chance to live.
"At 12.15 am on Sunday the 8th of May, 2016, I was attacked by four (4) armed men in two (2) different vehicles in front of Theodolite building on Anthony Village Road junction, off Ikorodu road, Lagos.
"I was beaten and dragged on the floor while they attempted to drag me into the back of the car and boot. I screamed and begged for help while a few cars simply drove away. Within 2 minutes, two bold mobile policemen (MOPOL) showed up in a tactical manner and confronted the robbers and there was an exchange of gunfire. The robbers (Car thieves) rushed into my car and one other car they came with then zoomed-off. I was eventually dropped at home by the MOPOL.
"I spent my Sunday (8th of May) at the police station and hospital. I lost my upgraded Honda Accord 2008/09 EX-L (Evil Spirit){BLACK} which I got as a pre-birthday gift less than a month ago. The Registration number/Plate no is EPE 93 EC; however, the body of the car is still engraved with the old reg no (LND 367 DF).
"I feel sad because this also happened less than 48 hours after my birthday which was on the 6th of May. Please help me be on the look-out in your area; the case has been reported to the police station.
