The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

It took last minute grace to let Tamunobelema Dungibbs-Dikibo off the hook after she fell victim to a brisk transit robbery colloquially known as ‘one chance’ on the Ikoyi-Lekki Link Bridge, Lagos State, recently.

Dikibo explained that the attackers ran into traffic and attempted to take a detour but a man who suspected foul play blocked their vehicle with his car and knocked on the driver’s window. For over six weeks now, Mrs Bukola Oluwadeko, has been anticipating to be soaked in euphoria. Since her husband, a poultry farmer and school proprietor in Ikorodu, Lagos, was kidnapped on June 3 on his farm in the Imota area of the state, sorrow had enveloped the family.

Distraught Bukola now struggles to keep the family going and tends to the emotional state of her children. Recounting her ordeal at the hands of the kidnappers, Oladapo said no sooner had she and her boss entered the poultry house than about 13 young men armed with guns scaled the fence into the premises and held them hostage.

“I am still at home; I can’t resume work yet because of the trauma. My blood pressure is high; I always have migraines. The incident keeps flashing in my memory,” she had told our correspondent. A disk jockey, Paul Raymond, also said his brother-in-law was kidnapped early April after entering ‘a one-chance bus’ from Ikorodu Garage en route to Adeniji-Adele.
