A 43-year-old Toyota car owner identified as Eguono Onodjae has explained how helping a pregnant woman along the Iyana Ipaja terminal bridge, in Lagos made him unconscious for 2 days.
According to him, he was
unconscious for days after offering to give a pregnant woman with her child
standing at the terminal bridge a lift in his car.
Explaining to Vanguard, Eguono
said, “It happened on Tuesday night. I reside at Abule Egba. I drove to Alausa
for an official assignment, and while coming back, I decided to park at a
filling station in Egbeda and use public transport to Coconut in Apapa.
“After my engagement at
Coconut, I came back to the filling station, picked up my car, and headed back
home. This was about 9:20 pm. While driving, I saw a woman, pregnant with a boy
beside her. I believe they were also heading to Abule Egba, my destination.
To help, I stopped and unlocked
my car with my car window down and told her to enter.
“Immediately after she entered
the front seat, some guys rushed themselves and joined her, opening my back
door. All I could remember was that the supposed pregnant woman poured
something pepperish on my eyes and used a handkerchief to cover my face.
“The energy and force she used
showed that she was not pregnant, and they pushed me to the ground. Luckily,
according to the police officer who helped me, I was not pushed onto the
expressway but to the side.”
Continuing, Eguono added,
“While I was on the ground, my car was driven away, but my car key is a sensor.
It does not use a key. And my car key sensor was in my pocket. There is a point
where if you drive the car without the sensor key close to it, it will stop. So
they drove my car to the Fagba area, and it stopped on the way.
However, my phone, voter’s
card, and my wallet were in the car, which they took away.
“According to some patrol
policemen, around 2 am, they saw me on the ground at first, and their lights
shined on me, causing them to reverse and see that I was still breathing. They
were the ones who took me to a hospital in Agege where I was unconscious for
two days. They gave me a police report and told me to visit any hospital of my
choice. I just got my car today with the help of the police.”
