Seasoned journalist and Executive Editor CKNNews Mr Chris Kehinde Nwandu has narrated his near encounter with gunmen in Lagos
We Need To Be Extra Careful
On Sunday morning, I dropped off a friend heading to the South East at about 6am at Jibowu and was on my way back home
Few meters to Charly Boy bus stop Gbagada , a korope bus painted in Lagos Taxi colour double crossed me , I noticed the vehicle had no number , three hefty guys jumped out of the bus , two with guns, one was fully bearded and were walking towards me
Luckily for me, either by luck or providence, I saw a small opening and made for it
The guys jumped off my track and I sped off
I watched them from my inner mirror as they entered their vehicle and zoomed off
This was at about 6.35am on Sunday morning
Later I came back to the area and made enquiries and some people acknowledged that there have been a lot of kidnapping along the Gbagada Oshodi , Oworonsoki axis in the past few weeks
I hope the Lagos State Police Command and Government are taking notice of this
I could have been a victim
Who knows how many have been picked up
Lagos just like many other cities are becoming dangerous place to live in
