TasalaHQ CEO was robbed last night on Eko bridge. She narrates how 6 armed robbers attacked her and her driver below.

The most traumatizing thing that has EVER happened in my life happened this evening.

After an amazing day at @tfdseries , I was stuck in traffic on Eko bridge, literally 5 mins away from home. Next thing I know both the front and back windows of my car were smashed in by armed robbers. My driver was driving and I was in the back. There were 2 on each side and 2 on standby literally just grabbing everything they could from the car. My handbag and another bag.

One even grabbed my wrist as my phone was in my hand. @bsrasaki @fifidilly this was while I was chatting with you guys. It happened so fast I could not even comprehend what was going on.

My driver immediately got out of the car and told me to get in the drivers seat and drive home immediately. I was so shaken I couldn't move at first but had to snap out of it. The saddest part is that no one tried to help as my driver attempted to hold one of them down. There were so many cars and people on the road but everyone just looked on.

I thank God that we are both safe, alive and well. Everything that was lost was material and the car can be fixed. I've heard these stories before but in my 4 years of living in Nigeria, this was a first for me.

Apparently these things happen more during the festive season. Please let us all be extra careful and vigilant. These are hard times in Nigeria and people are desperate. Keep safe!! I'm just super grateful to God that we were not physically harmed. The thieves can enjoy rocking my handbag and my possessions for all I care #staysafe #Nigeria.

Damn.

Same Eko Bridge?we should be very careful around this festive period. And I have always advised people not to chat on their phones in buses,public places or when stuck in hold ups.

You are drawing unwanted attention to yourself.

Safety tips:always keep your handbags, phones and wallets away from an outside view.

Thank God you are safe. Thieves usually meet violent ends.

My goodness...

And when angry mobs makes an arrangement for them to meet their maker on time people will start crying foul? Auntie take heart, they will meet their Waterloo very soon..

The fact that people looked away and couldn't help is bad joor. Tomorrow could be their turn, I don't even understand what this country is turning into. Thank God you're safe though, life first over material things.

This is one of the reasons I prefer a jeep with high ground clearance. God's mercy always.

Bad?

.

I am moving towards cms from leventies On my way to work, some cars ahead of me are been rob. People were just shouting ole ole but nobody is ready to come out and pursue them including me

Thank God that she was not hurt. The LASG should draft some armed security operatives to that area. They should use our tax money where it is most needed.

about 2 weeks ago while driving on eko bridge a guy walked up to my window at night and started threatening me to give him all my belongings or he will break my head with his gun (he was tryn to remove something from his trouser). I just ignored him totally drove forward to catch up with the go slow. I thought he was a joker as I was gisting with my bae and that was how I escaped his foolishness but was preety scared deep down tho.

This he nor consyn me mentality by Nigerians is why bad shhhytt happens all the time


Where's the love ? Can't we just try and be there for one another ??

Two people were fighting in bates creek lane ,Casper , Wyoming, Our neigbors called the cops and it turned out a life was saved as the husband was 191% on crack, didn't know what he was doing


Community policing works well, not until we have people in uniform , among all the drivers on the road , if someone had the liver to love a victim, reverse and hit one of the robbers, the others would flee


Nigerians Let us try and be there for each other , It might be your turn tomorrow

2 bad

Too badt

Madam CEO, if you and your driver was driving past Eko bridge and see armed robbers attacking a car, will you intrude?

Sorry for the loss though.

The type of car usually doesn't matter! The fact is you're stuck in traffic and there's no space to maneuver out of their hands!!!!

hmmmmmmmmmm

how can someone be so heartless and reckless to do such damage. smash all the windows of another person's car just because you want to take something that is not yours.?
people will start talking and screaming JUNGLE JUSTICE if such a person is caught and set on fire ?

just imagine the cost of the collateral damage in this crime.

Women should get stun guns for their safety!

Imagine the fate of dos robbers if she had 1 on her!

With as low as 7k u can protect yourself.

chuose2:

You no just get sense sha

U see why I repeatedly say Nigerians don't like each other. They just looked and carry face, at least a shout of thief! would have scared those guys off.

Thank God she and d driver didn't get hurt.
Jungle justice will b their end, and I pray no one encounter these dare Devils.

When jungle justice will be meted out on them......

nobody is safe anymore really sad

SORRY SISTER!!!

BE A CHOSEN AND ROBBERS WILL FLEE AT YOUR PRESENCE

??
so being a christian or believing in Jesus is not enough?
so the protection of God and his angels will not be upon a person until he/she is A CHOSEN ?
BE A CHOSEN ?
just look at what you said? Please what is the difference between you and an occult person ?

so no CHOSEN was raped, robbed, killed, involved in car crash, lost money, admitted in hospital...... this year ?

O gaa ooo
