A Nigerian lady, Annabel Fred, took to social media to recount her ordeal in the hands of ‘One Chance’ operators.
Here’s what she wrote on Facebook;
“Sorry to bother you friends!! But I had to use a friend’s phone
to share this!!! Yesterday I and my friend went to the shoprite to get
somethings, when we finished, we came out and ordered for uber’ ( it
showed 10mins to arrive) so we waited for the uber arrival”’ finally a
taxi(Acura MDX)stopped in front of us ‘ then I asked if he was the uber
we ordered? Yes I am ma’ he said! Then we both entered and i asked him
to start the trip: he then said ok and drive off, he drove for sometime
then slowed down’ when we asked y the slow down, this car is having
issues ma; let me check :
He said( pls my money is reading o I told him) sorry ma we not on
surg, he replied,I then said ok o,As he stopped, another guy quickly
entered the car then the driver doomed off immediately– sharply i even
tried to open the door and run ; but all to no avail then i realised we
were in big troubled ::: my friend started shouting and crying- then one
of guys came to the back seat held her neck so hard that she couldn’t
even scream: then they asked me to give them my phones ( I left my
phones at home I told them) the other guy used his gun to hit my eye( he
brought out a small knife, pepperspray, and small axe). He asked for
the second time ‘ where is your phone? I see 2 phones for your hand ,
where them dey?
Then I had no choice than to give him my phones when i saw blood
dropping , he started beating us and asked his friend to give him that
handkerchief ( but the guy driving said his spirit doesn’t want him to
harm us) but he should collect everything from us: so they collected the
things we bought @ the shoprite, they took my friend’s phones and mine
too, her waist watch, my neckchain, our handbags, asked for our atm
cards and tnk God none of us came out with it,they searched us and
collected the cash we had on us’ they even collected my friend’s ear
rings – then dumped us on a lonely part:
A good samarithan gave us 1500 to transport bk home we told him
what happened– I just had to share this so we can be very careful this
period:::the mistake we made was : not calling the uber number to
confirm if trully he was the person: I just want all of you thank God
for me o. What if we were killed ? Just few weeks to my service and this
happened? 2 months to the end of 2017? Wetin our mama for do? Please
guys, let’s be careful bill!!! thank you and God bless u- ( for now I’d
be offline).”
