A Nigerian TikTok user identified as Ziri Unfiltered has shared a harrowing account of how she narrowly escaped a suspected robbery attempt in Ikeja, Lagos, on Wednesday morning.
In a video, Ziri explained that she had just finished an interview and boarded a cab to head home when a heated argument broke out between the driver and another passenger over money.
Sensing something was off, she began recording the incident on her phone. However, one of the men reportedly noticed and became aggressive, demanding to know why she was filming.
Ziri said she stopped recording out of fear as the men asked her to “calm down.”
She added that she could not capture the car’s plate number or full view since the camera was facing her while recording.
The video has since drawn widespread reactions from social media users, many of whom warned others to stay vigilant and avoid unverified cabs, especially during early or late hours.
