Toyin Ibrahim
A producer with Television Continental (TVC), Toyin Ibrahim and
four others, were on Wednesday, physically assaulted, attacked and
almost raped by notorious ‘one chance’ bandits who dispossessed
them of their valuables at about 5:30am, few minutes after she boarded a
commercial bus at Ketu bridge heading towards Berger-Magodo in Lagos
metropolis.
Toyin, who is currently being treated at a hospital in Magodo
stated that the criminals attacked them barely two minutes after
entering the bus, collecting their phones and cash, adding that they
also took victims’ Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards to withdraw
money.
She also showed her torn jeans trousers to reporters, stating that she was almost raped after she bit one of the robbers.
"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 The robbers have withdrawn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."
