Notorious ‘one chance’ bandits on
Wednesday attacked a producer with Television Continental (TVC), Toyin Ibrahim
and four others, dispossessing them of their valuables.
The
incident occurred at about 5:30am few
minutes after she boarded a commercial bus at Ketu bridge heading towards
Berger-Magodo.
Ibrahim,
who is currently being treated at a hospital in Magodo stated that the
criminals attacked them barely two minutes after entering the bus, collecting
the phones and cash.
Showing
her torn jeans trousers to reporters, she stated that she was almost raped
after she bit one of the robbers. She said they also took victims’ Automated
Teller Machine (ATM) cards to withdraw money.
Her
words: “Two minutes after the vehicle took off one of the robbers began to hit
me. He asked me of my ATM pin number but I gave him a wrong number. When they
tried the numbers and discovered that the pin was a fake one, they descended on
me, hitting and booting me with their heavy shoes.
“I had to
tell them the truth, giving them the three pin numbers of my GTB and Skye Banks
cards. As they were beating me, I bit one of them and he became angry and tore
my jeans trousers.
“He
wanted to rape me. I was saved by one of them who warned that there was no time
for that. The company just paid my salary and I was hoping to withdraw some
money yesterday. The robbers have withdrawn all.
“It was a
14- seater bus. I wanted to sit at the second seat at the back of driver’s
seat, but the conductor said that was his seat so I had to go to the last seat.
I and four other people were victims.
“They
were stepping and marching me very hard. I would have died if they had
succeeded in raping me. Even as they were doing that, they pushed two victims
down on motion. They injured me in the head.
“I am
still spitting blood. They stole my three ATM cards, one phone and the N3,000
in my pocket. They robbed other victims too.”
