A Nigerian man has taken to social media to warn Lagos residents after narrowly escaping a suspected ‘one chance’ robbery attempt. He shared the vehicle’s plate number, WAM-178-SH, urging people to stay vigilant.
Recounting his experience, he said he boarded a black Corolla heading from Jabi towards Berger and quickly sensed danger. He described the occupants as a fair-skinned driver, a man in the front seat, and a woman with a child in the back. When he tried to exit, they repeatedly called him back, raising his suspicion.
His warning has since sparked reactions online, with many users sharing similar encounters. Residents are advised to be cautious and verify vehicles before boarding, especially in high-risk areas.See some reactions below:
