"There was this particular convoy vehicle that had an armed policeman. The man came out and shot in the air 2 times. As he shot in the air, I discovered that all of them started running away," he said.
And that's how the driver narrowly escaped being robbed on Oshodi bridge. However, others were not so lucky.
"I counted at least four cars that they have broken both front windscreen and drivers side. Some of them, they even spoiled their handle. I saw a car, they spoil the man's bumper," he recounted.
The driver also raised concerns that he noticed that there was no single uniform officer at the scene of the crime, therefore, giving the robbers freedom to operate.
