blackboy:
Very true. They used to but most escorts were the first victims. They were sitting ducks. The escorts were armed police men.

True that!

news said robbery started 11pm but pictures indicate full daylight

thewarrior72:
But that picture is showing daylight and not anything close to 11 pm or night?

Abi I no de see clear again ni?

You have a functional brain. Beat comment thus far.

legalize fire arms in Nigeria and armed robbery will be a thing of the past. But the looting politicians wont dare do that because they are scared of citizens revolt in the face of blatant corruption. Imagine if half of the passengers in each bus had at least a baretta pistol, who will dare block the road to rob?

alezzy13:
But I though those luxusry buses used to carry armed escorts. Why dem dey fear

They 'used' to....... Not anymore

We that frequents the highways which one are we supposed to be scared of now, the sleeping driver that nearly plunged a vehicle conveying more than 104 persons into a rocky stream in ondo state while coming back to Ghana from Nigeria or the Armed bandits that collected all we had while we were coming in to Nigeria from Ghana? Baba abeg do flash me back even if you no get call credit make I step up from long night dangerous journey to plane waka, if I die for road who wan come chop all these osusu wey I Dey hustle and kill myself for to make..

Nigerians still travel at night ...99% chances of armed robbery

They robbed 11pm this night, Police come crime scene by 3 am the next morning.


I am not understanding

Wow what a nice country America has become but bros eh

You know say dollar get value now, abeg send me $20.

Thanks in advance.

magicminister:
This is part of the reason i am not in a hurry to return to Nigeria.
Its been 5 months since i took my longest vacation ever.
I drove from Texas to Indiana (24 hrs Drive) without a single pothole or fearing for my life.
Naija got a long way to go!!!!

And the picture was taken at about mid day the following morning. I am not understooding too o

They should thank God for their lives

every big bus should have atleast 4 soldiers with heavy weapons. to protect life and property. and get well paid.

Haba you guys should not fall people's hands like this please? Of course this was taken the morning after when they must gathered to tell their individual experiences and wait for the traffic to clear. You would expect they would dare take pictures in the heat of the frenzy??

Chei this is nonsense why those robbers are doing all this nonsense they doing well I hope travelers will stayed safe and make it alive and stay away those robbers so may Almighty God will make those travelers be alive.

u no even sabi lai sef. Those images resemble 11pm for ur face? See everywhere be broad day light and u claim say na in the night (11pm) the robbery been take place. Go ask Uncle Lai Lai Mohammed to teach u how to lai. Traffic seeker.

Those useless "leaders" are bigger robbers.

This is a country that has everything, but always have senseless "leaders".

My dear in this shIt-hole called Nigeria, that is the best time to travel, except for night armed robbery which many thought had become a thing of the past.
May God help the common man in this country.

It was after the military arrived this morning, when the robbers had already left, that the travelers summoned courage to continue with their journey.

dorry62:

Really bad.
I hope those robbers meet their waterloo.

For where
Our olopas are busy doing bodyguard messengers to the fake big men whose chronic indebtedness to banks and owing salaries and pensions without paying taxes ensure youths turn to crime such as armed robbery and kidnapping.
Yet, the same senseless youths will be praising these fake big men in business and politics when they flex with their mansions and cars.
What a sad lot we are.

.........because we also arrest and "deal with" petty phone thieves only while hailing those who create the unfavourable conditions (unemployment, no electricity, no roads, no schools etc) that push youths to steal from others.
Are we wise or not

They don't rob and leave. They stay till they are challenged or feel they have enough

Our policemen are busy doing errand boys for "constituted authority" while their IG is busy cruising his BMW so no fuel for patrol car and no salary for korofos.
The legisLOOTERS are also very busy sharing the national cake aka Niger Delta oil revenue to bother with such "mundane" issues.
Shame of a nation!

AutoReportNG2:
The Nigeria's Inspector General of Police is a busy man, no doubt about that, he has to make sure there is peace and orderliness in the country, any breakout of peace will result in him been summoned either by the presidency or the National Assembly. Behind all this, it is tantamount that the man doing all these should be secured as well. We did a bit of fact finding analysis so see "The Beast" of the nation's police chief and what we see is quite amazing. We will leave you to be the judge. We bring to you the wonder on wheels of the Nigeria's Inspector General of police, a 2016 BMW 750Li.

That's why we need to have the right to own guns, if the state cant do it for us.

Think about how easy it would be to control this situation if the state was honest and zealous. They could have deployed the nearest helicopter available, 10-20 mins travel time and you already have a recon air craft. I don't even want to talk about drones, cause that is just pushing it, for our 10th century police force.

If you can't have rapid responses and perform critical operations, then please give us guns.

Just look at how many people are scared here, just because of probably some 5-10 thugs with guns. If half of these people here were packing small to serious heat, then lets see what will happen na

I'm just remembering those seized shotguns from customs now, meeen, I need one or two of those bad boys.

God bless you. I think govt need to relax gun laws. If they cant protect us at least they should allow us protect our lives and loved ones. Is it too much to ask? Ordinary local pistol all these small boys will be behaving like gods , raping wives and daughters and killing husbands. As soon as I marry I swear I'll start packing some crazy heat.

I imagine that you think the government is the same as the president, not so
Your

- LGA Councillor,
- LGA chairman,
- state lawmaker,
- federal representative and
- senator,

are they not also part of government?
Or why do you think we pay them so many millions every month?
You should petition them to make LAWS to allow guns to be carried by everyone.
Simple, really. Instead of typing to complain, get INVOLVED.
