Hi young ladies in the house. Please this is to alert you guys on how people are being robbed these days.
My choir member ( a young girl) was robbed few days ago by a potential client. She’s into catering and does breakfast for companies on request as well.
This lady met a guy sometime last month or thereabout and they exchanged contact. The guy was always calling her but she would tell him she’s busy due to the nature of her biz. So, this prompted the guy to ask what she’s into and she told him. Fast forward to a week ago, the guy said he wants her to cater for his staff breakfast at the office and asked for a quotation. She couldn’t do the draft and send via WhatsApp as usual because the contract was a huge one. So they agreed to meet one on one to discuss better.
The D day came and she told the guy she would be coming with a friend, he said it was fine. She later got another of her friend to join them making them three girls. So they set out in an Uber. When they got to where the guys were ( Onikan police station in ikoyi) they alighted from the taxify and entered the guys car. Immediately they drove past the station, she said they put the car on child lock. She said it dawned on her immediately that they had entered one chance.
The guys were three in number. The guy immediately changed his tone and began to collect their stuff. He collected iphone, her friends iPhone and Android, their purses with cash in it, chains and even asked if she has an iPod. when she tried to ask what she did, the guy slapped her across the face.
They collected her friends’ ATM card and requested for the pin. They said one of them would go and withdraw the money and if they find out the pin is not correct, they’ll shoot them all. After she gave them the pin, they changed their mind and decided to drop them at dolphin estate obalende and sped off. She said by the time they could reach customer care line of her friends bank, she was told 5 withdrawals of 10k has been made. They emptied her account.
As I type this, I’m still shocked for her. Imagine robbery in broad daylight. Though it was on a Sunday and ikoyi is always deserted on Sundays that was why they were able to carry out their evil without fear.
Please be careful how and where you meet people. Some will pose as client. Just be careful. Not every one who claims to be a client is actually one.
