: Armed Robbers Attacked Me with Loaded GUN:
“I Was “Hospitalized” and Traumatized for Over 2 Weeks”

Hello Nairalanders, my name is ENDY EDESON. I’m a blogger and a freelancer. I’m a regular visitor of this forum. I want to share with you the horrific incident I experienced in Ota Ogun State.
Tough times never last but tough people like me do. After the storm, comes the shine.
I was attacked by armed robbers two weeks ago, precisely on May 18, 2013. I live in Lagos but I shuttle around neigbouring states for business. I went to meet one of my clients in Ota Ogun State weeks back not knowing that armed robbers are also looking for clients. They came to rob around Iyana Iyesi area, unfortunately I was among the victims. They invaded me unannounced and when I lest expected them.
They took my phone, IPAD, all my money and other valuables, including my ATM Card. They even tried to steal my laptop that contains vital information about my business but I dragged it with them, I managed to escape from them with my laptop but the laptop screen got damaged. I have repaired the screen now.
The armed robbers used motorcycle (Okada) to operate. They were 3 in number, they beat me mercilessly. One of them pointed his gun at me to surrender my laptop or else he will shoot me, I thought I was going to die at that moment but fortunately he did not shoot me, rather he used the gun to smash on my face.
I sustained injuries after the attack, I was “hospitalized” and traumatized for over 2 weeks.
The good news is that I have recovered; I’m hale and hearty now.
I want the government of Ogun State especially ADO-ODO Ota Local Govt Area to intensify efforts in curbing robbery in Ota. Cases of robbery are becoming rampant in that area. Recently, robbers attacked Conoil Petrol Station along Covenant University Road/ Idi-roko road Ota, at least 2 persons were killed.

Awwww. Wait...you are not the OP. How did you know?

Eeyah doe, sorry,udo,pele

Thank God you weren't killed! Sorry for your loss. It is well.

Man mi, sorry to hear of your plight. Thank God you are alive and well. This armed robbery menace is a serious problem for all hard-working Nigerians. I personally think the government must look bravely at State Policing. As currently convened, the Nigerian police force cannot combat crime effectively.

Sorry oooo

@OP and other Nairalanders

Back up your data in the cloud. For me, of anyone steals any od my devices, its just the hardware that's gone

I will gladly release my hardware, than have a nonentity point a gun on my face.
