Below is what Olakunbi Oyelese
the Creative Director of April ByKunbi brand shared on instagram
So I wasn't going to put this out here but I spoke to a few people recently that have had or heard of a similar experience.
Years
ago we felt safe enough driving in Lagos as long as your windows were
up and you're locked in the car... Even the people with no ac in their
cars would sweat it out, literally.
The
picture above was an attack/robbery that happened to me in broad day
light last week Thursday (8th January). Continue...
Going home via CMS area, there
was heavy traffic due to the campaign. I didn't really mind as I had
someone driving... All of a sudden I saw people running so I knew for
sure something was happening ahead... Checked to make sure my doors were
locked. Next thing I see is bunch of thugs going to car windows, my
driver asked me to keep my iPad and threw my bag to the back. He hadn't
even finished saying "they are robbing" before one of the thugs started
banging the driver's window demanding for money...he cracked the glass
open a little and quickly gave him N500...
Then he started demanding for
phones, more money. By this time there were 2 of them by my side
banging at my window, asking me for my phones and my bag. Next thing I
hear is glass shattering and I see the thug holding a cutlass, he leans
in to grab the drivers phone (he was charging it) and was reaching for
my bag. I honestly don't know HOW my car got on the curb as there was no
where else to turn to..But thank God we escaped, saw bags littered all
over the ground.. Vandalized cars parked with no one inside.... My
drivers hand bleeding.. Brings me to the point of this long story... We
are not safe, no one is Safe. Either we accept it or not, Nigeria is in
trouble! To think that was child's play compared to what people are
going through in the North is terrifying.
There
was a time poverty was our only big problem, I strongly believe even
the less privileged people will take being safe over anything right now.
