A
Nigerian lady, enitanmarquis, has taken to social media to narrate how
she was robbed, stabbed in the traffic at night while driving from VI to
surulere,Lagos.
Enitanmarquis, who narrated the incident on her instagram page,
claimed that she was stabbed nine times and her phone, bag were
collected.
I wasn’t going to post anything about the incident but I saw that
something similar happened to another lady recently and awareness needs
to be raised – so people can be even more vigilant, and solutions can
be sought.
I was driving from VI to Surulere at about 8.30pm on Monday 16th
October. I had just driven past Apongbon when I got into heavy traffic. I
noticed two men approach the drivers side of the car in front of mine,
but the driver was able to swerve away from them. I sensed something was
wrong, so I tried to do the same, but was unable to cross to the other
lane due to the traffic. The two men walked past my car, I then looked
in my rearview mirror and saw one of them look back at my car, and then
he turned around and walked back towards me.
Everything happened really fast – he approached my window,
smashed the window and started stabbing my arm, saying “give me your
phone, give me your bag”. I was in shock, terrified and stuck in
traffic. I couldn’t drive anywhere. I gave him my phone, he continued
stabbing my arm. I gave him my bag, and he still continued stabbing my
arm.
At some point I was able to drive off, or he ran away (I can’t
remember which happened first). I was disorientated, scared and was
driving quite erratically, hitting other cars trying to get someone’s
attention. I was screaming for help as my arm was bleeding out. I kept
screaming to the other drivers “Help me! I’ve been stabbed”, they just
looked, no one helped.
Eventually I rammed into a car in front of me, the man came out of
his car, saw the state I was in and proceeded to help me. I can only
describe him as being God sent. Out of everybody who was in that traffic
only one man took it upon himself to help… I was stabbed 9 times in my
arm – for a phone and handbag.
We always hear that the ’ember months are dangerous, but Lagos
State, Lagos Police, WHAT IS BEING DONE to prevent these incidents? WHAT
IS BEING DONE to reduce the ridiculous traffic that are breeding
grounds for these incidents? And people of Lagos, myself included, WHAT
ARE WE DOING to be better?
All Glory to God that I’m able to tell this story and testify of His goodness, divine protection and mercy
