Instagram user @enitanmarquis took
to the app to narrate the horrible ordeal she suffered in the hands of traffic
robbers at Apongbon, Lagos state; she revealed she was stabbed about nine times
by them.
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 ??
