A staff of Naval Medical Centre, Naval Dock Yard in the Ahmadu
Bello Way of Victoria Island in Lagos, identified only as Grace, has
narrated her ordeal in the hands of some armed robbers in Lagos State.
The lady revealed that she was robbed at gun point in broad day light by two unknown armed men.
Below is how she narrated her experience to DailyPost and said;
"I left my office at about 5:00pm and stood at the front of my
office waiting to board a tricycle popularly known as Keke Napep. There
was a red jeep with tinted glasses parked nearby.
"Soon after I got there, a man in the car reversed to my direction, pointed a gun at me and ordered me to board the vehicle.
"Out of fear that I would be shot, I boarded. There was no one
around the area to have rescued me even though I had screamed for help;
unlike before, there were no Military personnel at the entrance gate to
my office, no one was in sight at that moment.
"When I boarded, I realised they were two men in the vehicle.
They set the car in motion and forcefully took everything in my
possession including my laptop bag with a new red laptop inside, the
charger, the mouse, an Etisalat handset.
"A black handbag containing my e-passport, foreign currencies worth 500 dollars, ATM cards, N13, 000 and some other documents.
"After collecting all my belongings, they said to me, ‘We don’t
want to rape or kidnap you o, we only wanted to get your things. Where
do you want us to drop you off? They eventually dropped me off along the
road by a dual junction.
"I alighted and found my way home. I asked my sister to go with
me to the bank so we could block the ATM cards and discontinue further
usage. Her card was in my possession when I was robbed.
"While we were at the GTBank, I called my number using my
sister’s line and the robbers picked up, saying I should come and meet
them so they would return half of my properties they stole. I just hung
up and didn’t go anywhere.
"After blocking the ATM cards, we went to my office, reported
the case and from there, I went to the Bar Beach Police Division at VI.
"I lodged a complaint and the police Inspector told me to go
home, that they would do everything within their powers to bring the
robbers to book," Grace added.
When contacted, a police source at the Bar Beach division told our reporter the case is a known one. According to the source, "The
robbers are not relenting in their operations in Lagos state but all
hands are on deck to make sure they are all brought to face the law. We
are investigating the case," the source told our reporter.
