'One-chance' robbery is very popular in the commercial city of Lagos as a victim who had a first-hand experience, has narrated his latest encounter.
Below is how a man narrated his experience on an online platform;
******************************************************************************************************************************
Today, 29th August, I got to Ojota, bus-stop around 5:00am waiting for a bus going to Ojuelegba, which is close to my workstation. After like 3 minutes, I heard a guy from a normal yellow danfo bus calling "Ojuelelgba" and as expected I hopped in, along with a Police Officer. Another person boarded some few metres away and the journey continued.
And just like a film scene, i discovered everyone in the bus (about 8 of them) are part of the "one chance" crew, you know what I mean and this included the supposed Policeman. They told me to sit on the floor, searched my bag as if their lives depended on it, took my atm cards and mobile phone. They requested for my pin under the threat of a gun and i obliged.
Funny part, they had a POS machine to verify my pin. Alas, it was correct and right there they started sharing the loot, electronically. All these happened while the bus moved at break-neck speed. I even begged them to give me my SIM but they didn't.
Anyway, I thank God cos I wasn't hurt at all, they dropped me around Mushin and sped off in the dark. I got a glimpse of the plate number LAGOS-JJJ-86-something something sha.
I believe God had a purpose for everything that happens to man. I have blocked my SIM and ATM card this morning ASAP.
I hope this info will help some commuters and warn them about these criminals here in Lagos. Even when you see an alleged "staff", it does not guarantee the safety of the bus. Only God can protect.
