A man identified as Chukwueke Emmanuel, has recounted his ordeal with men of the underworld after entering a cab in Gwarimpa area of Abuja. The victim also revealed how a passenger struggled with the armed robbers and even the driver who was on wheels during the operation in the vehicle as they eventually had a terrible accident before the robbers fled.

Read what Emmanuel shared on Facebook;

Few weeks ago, Che Oyinatumba wrote about it, but I really didn't understand until I had a first hand experience last night. It all happened when I entered a cab from Gwarimpa to A.Y.A at about 19:45. When I boarded, I started making use of my phone, responding to comments on my wall. I noticed we were 5 in all, the driver, front passenger, then three persons at the back, me inclusive.

Within five minutes of the journey, they entered a route through Airport road which is a different location from my destination.

At this juncture, the passenger in the front seat brought out a pistol, gave me a slap and ordered everyone to face down.

I obeyed and asked them not to harm me that I have a few Naira note with me and some money in my bank account, they collected the money with me and brought out POS machine and withdrew all I had in my bank account, yet they kept moving, I started crying, telling them to please spare my life, as I kept lamenting, I noticed all of them were Igbos except the one seating close to me who refused to bow down, he then combated the others in a fierce fight, my head was still bent.

They were hitting him, cocked the gun, but he refused to give in, he tapped me to fight, but I was already traumatized. He then started controlling the steering from the back, alas, we had a terrible accident, all doors locked instantly, they then flew from the window of the drivers seat, I hurriedly jumped out and ran away, they all ran to the same direction.

Few minutes later I came back to the scene because people started gathering thinking it was just an accident, then I explained to them my ordeal. Police came and luckily for us we saw one of the criminals phone with phone number while checking on the vehicle, I also saw my phone.

I don't know what would have become of me, but I am certain it was God himself that saved me

Well...Good to know they were almost all iDumb!

It is a booming business in Abuja. Armed gangs posing as drivers and passengers and robbing unsuspecting passengers.
But what I don't understand if true is the use of POS to rob. That will be a foolish thing to do, as all POS are tied to an account,- an account is tied to a name and BVN. If robbers rob and use POS to debit accounts, the account tied to the POS is credited. All police investigation requires is to trace the account tied to the POS, and the criminals can easily be identified irrespective of the fact that they withdraw the money.

Buhari sef

good

Some people no dey shame for themselves sha.

So an adult wasn't ashamed to tell us how he allowed people rob him simply because he was a coward.

To make it worse, he refused to join the brave man in subduing the robbers.
That's the height of cowardice!

How will such a man protect his lady let alone his family? Spineless weakling.

Thank God for the guy who stood up to the robbers (even though what he did was kinda risky & stupid).

Or Maybe the guy is 'GOD' since OP said GOD himself saved him

They are simply opportunist.


With proper investigation and the cell phone recovered, it shouldn't be difficult to track them down.

See you...it's rampant in lagos - what boys are doing now is having 2 bank accounts, one with debit card issued and the other with no debit card issued - then put bulk of your cash in the no debit card account - just transfer small cash to the one with the debit card from time to time.... stay safe!

NwaAmaikpe:

Modify quick biko

NAIJA

"as I kept lamenting, I noticed all of them were Igbos"

A fellow occupant fought them to a stand still...and even tap u to join...and u were too frightened to join..... Mmmmmmm......just knowing that my account was emptied with there POS....na me go fight them pass....thank God u safe sha.

this criminals and POS still baffles me. no investigative body to track the account and catch the next idiot coming to withdraw

Simple and real scenario of Nigeria of today.

Igbo - rob
Hausa - fights for justice even if his life is at stake.
Yoruba - fears a lot.

The bank officials will tell you they can't infringe on someone's right.Even if they accede, it would be a very tedious process. .
