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 The robbers have withdrawn all.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."
