Three Americans have lost their travel documents, money, phones and valuables to traffic robbers at the Oshodi area of Lagos.The
incident occurred on November 6, around 8:20pm, while the visitors were
on their way to Victoria Island from the Muritala Mohammed
International Airport (MMIA).
The victims,
names withheld, were said to be working for a Non-Governmental
Organisation (NGO) in the United States (U.S) and were in the country to
attend a programme.
The victims were issued new travel documents and returned to America.
According
to a security expert, Seyi Adetayo, who shared the ordeal of the
Americans on social media, the victims were attacked by four men, who
surrounded the vehicle conveying them to Eko Hotel.
He said:
“They arrived Lagos at about 5pm and were stuck in a traffic gridlock
for about three hours in Oshodi. Their vehicle was attacked around
8:20pm around Oshodi axis. The assailants were four in number. They
surrounded the vehicle. Immediately, the two at the back smashed the
windows and yelled at them “where is the money? One of the passengers
lost her laptop, wallet, cash and travel passport. The second colleague
lost her IPhone.
“The case was reported at Ilupeju Police
Station the next day and we were informed that a lot of robbery attacks
took place around that place and time. We were also told that two
Britons just left the police station, they were attacked and also lost
all their valuables, including their passports, bags, phones etc.
“We
were advised that pending when the Oshodi construction work would be
completed, once it is 4pm we should take the international/local airport
axis to Maryland and make a turn towards Ojota to connect Alapere to
the third mainland.
“They confirmed that Maryland towards Anthony
to connect with the bridge is also not safe. We are also approaching
the festive period and need to be more security conscious.”
Adetayo
said a colleague of his who works with the victims’ establishment, was
the originator of the post, adding that he only shared it on social
media for motorists to be conscious.
