A practicing Lagos lawyer, Adunni Ade has recounted her encounter with robbers inside a commercial bus.

According to her, she was thoroughly battered after boarding the bus loaded with robbers at GB Iyana Ipaja, Lagos on Thursday, March 10.

Adunni said is however, still grateful that she survived the ordeal but that she lost her iPhones, money, ATM car and other valuables.

She added that the mini bus was in motion while the robbers carried out their nefarious act.

After taking the valuables she had on her and also taking her ATM and her PIN, she said she and an elderly woman were pepper sprayed and thrown out of the moving bus at Ikeja Along, miles away from their destination.

According to her, “On Thursday evening 10/03/2022 at about 7:30pm or 8pm, let’s just say I got very unfortunate because I fell into the hands of the wicked beasts living among humans. I work at Yaba and I live in Ipaja just right after Iyana Ipaja.

“All the way from Yaba, I already got to Iyana Ipaja and I was already happy I had almost got home. Right in front of GB Iyana Ipaja was a mini bus calling Ipaja Ayobo, before me was a woman in her 60s, I guess.

“She entered the bus and then I hopped in right after her. We only just asked for the price of the vehicle(sic) and under split of seconds one of the supposed passengers from the back just came to the front and the next thing I heard was ‘blood of Jesus’, ‘blood of Jesus’ beside me and then they pulled the woman to the back seat and put me in the middle.

“The next thing I knew I tried to get off the bus and then I kept struggling and I was terribly beaten after which they now took my phone and asked me to remove my iCloud from and then took my ATM, asked me for the pin and took all my valuables removed all my jewellery and beat the hell out of me, they even asked that I borrow a million naira or I better start calling family.

“All this was happening while the vehicle was in motion, we even got to a police checkpoint but at this time, I was asked to lay down between the driver’s seat and front passengers’ seat where they kept their legs on me and put a bag on my face in case anyone had to look into the bus.”
